A Western Cape man has been handed a double life sentence for the 2019 murders of a Malmesbury couple.
Zandre Swartz, 31, was sentenced in the Western Cape High Court on Thursday for the murders at the Kalbaskraal informal settlement on 1 November 2019.
"Before handing down the sentence, Judge [Monde] Samela described Zandre Swartz as someone who is unrepentant of the heinous crimes he committed and had shown no signs that he can rehabilitated," she said. In a separate case, a Cape Town man was sentenced to 15 years' imprisonment for shooting Faghmie Valentine, 21, from Hanover Park at a flat in St Lucia Court four years ago.
