In his judgment, the magistrate said he took into account the accused’s state of mind, his age and his confession.
Cape Town – The boyfriend of Manenberg grandmother Magdalene Isaacs has been sentenced to just 14 years in jail despite confessing to viciously stabbing the elderly woman to death.
“I went blank and went to the kitchen to fetch a knife and walked to the deceased and stabbed her in the neck and in the stomach,” the lawyer read.“She collapsed between the bed and the cupboard and I then sat on the bed for a few minutes and contemplated suicide.” But the State prosecutor called for the minimum prescribed sentence of 15 years in jail due to the seriousness of the crime.
