Coligny Teen Murder - Guilty Verdict Brings Comfort to Parents

Although the parents of 16-year-old Matlhomola Moshoeu won't ever hear their son's voice again or watch him grow into an adult, the court's decision to find two men guilty of his murder has given them some comfort. Matlhomola's parents, Saki Dingake and Agnes Moshoeu, said they were happy that "justice has been served" when Judge Ronald Hendricks found Pieter Doorewaard and Phillip Schutte guilty of murder in the North West High Court in Mahikeng, South Africa. On Thursday, sentencing proceedings were postponed to allow the State and defence to prepare arguments for mitigation and aggravation of sentencing.
