Drinking on the job and biting his victim puts robber inside for 18 years: Having a few swigs of wine on the job has earned a house robber an 18-year-long 'hangover' - behind bars.
“The accused, 37-year-old Vusi Mahlangu from KZN, was linked to a September 2016 house robbery in Devon Street through DNA after he drank wine from a bottle in the house. He tied up the occupants and stole clothing, a television set and jewellery,” said Gwala.
“In the second robbery in June 2017 in Esher Street, the accused was also linked through DNA after he removed jewellery from his victim’s finger using his mouth and teeth. He also stabbed the victim with a screwdriver and stole jewellery and other valuables.”
