<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A 47-year-old woman who paid hitmen R20,000, [about $1,100], to kill her husband so she could cash in on insurance policies was sentenced to life imprisonment by the Mpumalanga High Court on Monday, March 13, 2023.<br>Phumaphi Gloria Gwebu and her husband Sipho Shadrack Dimba, 52, lived together at Msogwaba Trust with their children.<br>The accused pled guilty before the court. <br>In her plea explanation, Gwebu stated she took out five insurance policies for Dimba, one of which was to pay R530,000, [$29,091], upon his death. <br>“She waited until the policies matured and arranged with the hitmen a few weeks before they killed the deceased,” National Prosecuting Authority spokesperson Monica Nyuswa said. <br>On December 12, 2019, the hitmen entered the house during the night, as arranged, and murdered Dimba. <br>They went straight to the bed where he was sleeping, strangled him with Gwebu present and threw his body into a nearby river before fleeing. <br>Two days later, a passerby noticed the body in the river and alerted the family who then called police. <br>“The accused was arrested a year later after one of the killers confessed to the police and implicated her as the mastermind behind the murder,” Nyuswa said. <br>Prosecutor advocate Eugene Mathebula told the court the murder was premeditated, brutal and triggered by greed. <br>The court found no reason to deviate from the prescribed minimum sentence of life imprisonment. <br>The National Prosecution Authority, in a statement, welcomed the verdict and praises the good work done by the prosecution and the investigating team. <br>“We hope this sentence will deter potential offenders.” the statement added. </p>
