Over four years after Silindile Kunene (18) was raped and murdered (March 6, 2019) at her home in the Fever-Tree Complex in South Hills, Osborne Lorenzo Bors received 40 years in prison for his crimes.
On October 23, magistrate Vele from the Booysens Magistrate’s Court sentenced Bors for two counts of murder and sexual assault.
Bors was sentenced to 20 years imprisonment for count one, 20 years for count two and five years for count three. Counts two and three will run concurrently.
Silindile was found dead by her father, Thembalakhe Dlamuka, on the spare bedroom floor at about 18:00.
The Moffat View police apprehended Bors, responsible for maintenance in the complex (Fever Tree), the next day (March 7, 2019) while on duty at the same complex.
Silindile was home alone when the incident happened. Her mother, Hlengiwe Kunene, said her daughter was new to the area, having arrived two months earlier from KwaZulu-Natal. She barely knew people in the area.
