Nationality: Murder arrests and convictions
Of the suspects that were arrested, the majority were South Africans (86%), followed by Lesotho
nationals with 8%. The data provided by the SAPS did not indicate the nationality of the
perpetrators that were sentenced. The data outlined in Table 2, pertaining to sentencing, were
calculated by analysing the nationality of suspects who were arrested and later sentenced. This

sentences amounting to at least 628 years in prison, along with six life sentences, were handed
down.27
