Police have since last year intensified crime combating efforts in Sophiatown and the broader Westbury policing precinct.
The South African police have welcomed multiple life sentences handed down to a convicted murderer by the High Court in Johannesburg.
Police spokesperson Brigadier Mathapelo Peters said Miller was arrested during an intelligence-led operation in Elsies River, Cape Town, in April 2017 following an incident where three suspects from Cape Town arrived at Dorothea Flats in Newclare, Johannesburg, armed with R5 rifles and handguns. “Miller will effectively serve 40 years behind bars after pleading guilty for three counts of murder for which he was handed 30 years per murder, attempted murder with eight years, robbery aggravated with 15 years, possession of unlicensed firearms another 15 years, and possession of ammunition with four years,” said Peters.
