A KwaZulu-Natal man has been sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of his girlfriend, constable Senzeni Msipha.
Lucky Masinga, 35, and his co-accused friend Vincent Zikhali, 38, appeared in the Mtunzini High Court on Friday. They were sentenced to life imprisonment for murder, 15 years for armed robbery and five years for kidnapping.
Msipha was reported missing from her home in Gingindlovu, in Northern KwaZulu-Natal, in February 2018, after she went shopping and never came back.
Masinga was the last person to see her alive. Her charred remains were found in her car along a rural road in Inyoni, also in northern KZN.
DNA testing was used to identify her.
