| BONGANI NKOSI

SERIAL killer and ex-policewoman Rosemary Ndlovu is waiting to hear her fate after she was found guilty of six counts of murder on Friday.

Judge Ramarumo Monama found her guilty of six counts of premeditated murder.

He delivered his four-hour judgment at the South Gauteng High Court, sitting in Palm Ridge.

Judge Monama ruled that despite relying on circumstantial evidence, the State proved beyond reasonable doubt that Ndlovu, 43, killed her relatives and a lover for insurance payouts.

She walked away with over R1.4 million from her heinous scheme that started in 2012 and ended in 2018, shortly before her arrest.

The relatives she ordered hits on were her sister Audrey Ndlovu, her nephews Mayeni Mashaba and Brilliant Mashego, her cousin Madala Homu, and Zanele Motha, her niece.

The sixth murder was that of her lover Maurice Mabasa. His body was discovered in the street with multiple stab wounds.
