The high court in Pretoria on Tuesday sentenced a Pakistani businessman, Muhamed Sajid Khan, 44, to two life terms and six years for two counts of murder and one of attempted murder.
On February 1 2020, six members of an organisation called “Concerned Tshwane Residents” went to one of Khan’s properties in Luttig Street, Pretoria West, to verify if he indeed was the rightful owner.
According to the testimony of one of the witnesses — who is a member of the CTR — its members went to the police station to report the matter. Prosecutor Eric Sihlangu argued that Khan showed no remorse for his actions and that the killings were premeditated because he went to the scene with an already cocked firearm.
