A member of the SA National Defence Force has been jailed for 15 years by the Bethlehem Circuit Court for a double murder.
Free State police said Mpumelelo Hlubi was sentenced yesterday to 15 years for killing Lieutenant Thabiso Seithati, and 10 years for the murder of Gunner, Zakhe Khumalo.
The sentences will run concurrently.
In February, Hlubi shot Seithati and Khumalo while driving from the Fouriesburg military base to the Kromdraai temporary base, near the Lesotho border, in a military vehicle.
He dumped their bodies beside the Kromdraai farm gravel road.
An R4 rifle and a cellphone were taken from the men and were later found in Hlubi's possesion.
