Found this for the first time myself and thought you guys might find it interesting aswell. (Bit graphic of a story so just a warning) Phindile Joseph Ntshongwana aka The Durban Axe Murderer was arrested in 2011 for hacking 4 men to death and attempted murder on 2 other people, kidnapping and rape to allegedly avenge the gang rape and subsequent HIV infection of his daughter earlier in 2011. However, the police later reported that the rape never occurred. At his arraignment, Phindile was also very violent and spoke in tongues. At a mental competency hearing in January 2012, it was revealed that Phindile was mentally ill, suffering from schizoaffective disorder and His dad also told the court his son suffered from bipolar disorder. But a psychiatrist testified that Phindile was not mentally unstable and that the murders were premeditated and deliberate. In February 2012, a Durban court declared him fit to stand trial and In September 2014, Phindile was convicted of the murders, as well as two counts of attempted murder, one of assault with intent to commit grievous bodily harm, one of kidnapping, and one count of rape. In December 2014, he was sentenced to five life sentences in the Kwazulu-Natal High Court.   submitted by   /u/sunlightliquid [link]   [comments]
