    Comments Thread For: Corrie Sanders Murder Trial: Killers Get 30 Years Each

    Three neb who killed former world heavyweight champion Corrie Sanders during an armed robbery were jailed for 43 years each on Wednesday, of which they have to serve at least 30 of the sentence.

    High Court in Pretoria Judge Ferdi Preller sentenced Paida Fish, Chris Moyo and Samuel Mabena, all in their 20s, to 18 years imprisonment for murdering Sanders.

    They were sentenced to 19 years for armed robbery and a further six years for possession of unlicensed firearms and ammunition.

    Preller ordered that some of the sentences run concurrently, giving a sentence of in effect 30 years for each of the three men. They are all first offenders.

    Sanders, 46, was shot during an armed robbery at the Thatch Haven Country Lodge outside Brits while attending his nephew's 21st birthday party on September 22, 2012. He died the next day in the Kalafong Hospital.

        So it was premeditated with military precision, and Corrie Sanders was killed, but they were only given thirty years because it wasn't their intention to murder Sanders? Then what were the loaded firearms for? A celebration? Why not award them the Victoria Cross or something? After all, they could have killed at least until their ammo ran out. By the way, just what contribution will these fine fellows make to society in thirty years?

          In the moment of truth, he did what he had to do to try and protect his little girl.

          Respect for the memory of Mr. Sanders.

            It is simply not enough. At the very least they should get life with no possibility of parole, though I would have wanted execution for all of them.
