A South African traditional healer has been sentenced to life for motivating the brutal beheading of an Indian-origin woman by promising four youths over USD 150,000. The four had killed and decapitated Murugan after stabbing her 192 times. Khumalo, who earlier confessed to the murder, is serving a life sentence for killing the woman. Thelejala and Ndlovu were awarded a 15-year prison sentence while Magwala will serve 12 years behind the bars. Magwala got a lighter sentence because he only selected Murugan as the victim but did not participate in the actual stabbing.
