‘Hellish, cruel’ Rosemary Ndlovu handed life sentence
Former Tembisa police officer Rosemary Ndlovu may never see the outside of a prison cell again.
The convicted killer was handed six life sentences in the Palm Ridge Magistrate’s Court on Friday.
She was found guilty six counts of murder in October, including of her sister, nephew, and boyfriend.
Ndlovu killed her relatives and loved one for insurance payouts totalling some R1.4 million.
Judge Ramarumo Monama said he accepts the submission by an expert, who described Ndlovu as a serial killer.
The judge added that he does not believe Ndlovu can be rehabilitated.
"The accused is cruel, hellish, bullish, and brazen. The accused was manipulative and always deceitful, tricking her victims into believing that she loves them and they always referred to her as auntie.
"Wost of all, once she seduced them she struck like a vulture. The expert has classified her as a serial killer which is a classification that I accept. And the accused demonstrated complete absence of remorse, this accused deserved to be removed from the society for a very, very long time.”
Ndlovu was also sentenced to five years in prison for defeating the ends of justice after she tampered with the scene where her sister was killed.
Monama also sentenced her to 30 years in prison for three counts of fraud, and 10 years for each count of incitement to commit murder.
