Nicknamed 'One Man', Mdlolo rampaged through the Klipspruit area of Soweto, where he accosted people in their cars and homes between July and December 2012 .
His original case was set down for Wednesday for the sentence that had been prepared by Maluleke to be read by another judge, Ratha Mokgoatlheng.However, Mokgoatlheng told Mdlolo he was empowered to read a judgment that had been prepared by another judge.He said it was rare for a criminal to abscond before a judge had signed the judgment.
He said the advantage for the new judge was that there was no need to go through the trial record or read all the evidence before preparing the sentence. "This is a a living document and has been resurrected by the rearrest of the accused," Mokgoatlheng said. Mdlolo was sentenced to life by the South Gauteng High Court on each of the three rapes, life for the count of murder, 15 years each for the counts of housebreaking, 15 years each for the counts of aggravated robbery and 15 years each for the unlawful possession of firearm and ammunition.Mdlolo, who was handcuffed and under heavy police guard, indicated he wanted to appeal his conviction and sentence.
