A woman who killed two people has been sentenced to a decade behind bars.
A 29-year-old mother, Yvonne Brouwers, from Nxuba in the Eastern Cape, was sentenced to an effective 10 years in prison for murder and culpable homicide.
The Nxuba Regional Court sentenced her to 10 years for murder and six years for culpable homicide, but ordered that the sentences run concurrently. The argument escalated and according to Brouwers the deceased drew a knife and tried to stab her. Brouwers took the knife and stabbed Mondo, who died on the scene.
Only when Mondo's body was discovered, was Brouwers arrested. Just 24 days later, while Brouwers was on bail, she hit her stepmother, Nontsokolo Mthathi, on the head with a coffee mug.
