Teenagers jailed for killing elderly woman

They were sentenced in the Pietermaritzburg High Court yesterday by Judge President Vuka Tshabalala, says a report on the IoL site. The 15-year-old was well known to victim Gladys Burdett as she paid for his schooling and employed his mother. He was the mastermind behind the murder of Burdett and the theft of her car. The youths invaded Burdett\'s home while she was eating, choked her with electric cord, put a duvet over her head and bundled her into the boot of her car in which they drove off. Tshabalala ordered that they serve at least two-thirds of their sentences before being considered for parole. Full report on the IoL site
