Two farm murderers sentenced to life plus 68 years imprisonment #sentencing

The management of the South African Police Service has welcomed the sentence imposed on two men accused of committing a house robbery and other crimes in Kameeldrift, north east of Pretoria.
On 18 September 2019, the High Court in Pretoria sentenced Dolphy Sambok (45) and Karabo Semake (27) to life imprisonment and a combined 68 years in prison for, among others, murder, attempted murder and robbery with aggravating circumstances.
On the fateful day of 26 June 2016, Dolphy and Karabo together with the third accused Andrew “Steve” Thabo (48), who died in prison early in 2018, broke into the house of a couple both aged 51 where they committed armed robbery with aggravating circumstances. The couple were subjected to serious bodily injuries before being shot and left for dead when the accused fled the scene with their personal belongings.
The wife unfortunately succumbed to her injuries while the husband was taken to hospital for medical attention.
The case was registered and allocated to a National Detectives Organised Crime investigator who used his expertise to follow all the leads as the accused were not known at that stage. The detective eventually made a breakthrough when he traced one of the suspects to Brits in North West, together with the SAPS Brits detectives.
