Farmer’s killers get life terms

The Witness: "Farmer’s killers get life terms"
Two casual workers who murdered Cramond farmer Ezrah Podolski, and assaulted and robbed Podolski’s wife, Miriam, and the couple’s domestic worker, Gloria Ngidi, on September 5, 2006, were each jailed for life plus 20 years by high court Judge Gregory Kruger.

Kruger commented during the sentencing that the minimum sentences were promulgated with the aim of helping to reduce crimes of this nature. This clearly has not happened since the jails are “overflowing”, he said.
