Johannesburg - Judge Papi Masopa is on Friday expected to sentence three men who raped two women and killed their husbands in Rhodes Park.
The three will be sentenced in the South Gauteng High Court in Johannesburg.
Admore Ndlovu, 23, Thabo Nkala, 25, and Mduduzi Mathibela Lawrence, 32, were on Tuesday found guilty of robbery, two counts of rape, and two counts of murder.
They were part of a 12-man gang who attacked the two couples in the park, in Kensington, on the evening of Saturday, October 17, 2015. The couples went there for a walk following a church service.
The four were forced to lie on the ground. A knife was used to cut off the underwear of both women before they were raped.
Their husbands, Zukisa Khela and Sizwe Tyeke, were forced to strip and were ordered into the lake, where they drowned. Police divers found the bodies.
The gang stole some of their clothes, jewellery, and cellphones.
