Zwelakhe Ntombela was shot and robbed of his private and service pistols at his Umlazi home earlier this year. 

 

 Hitman Mandlenkosi Ntombela was sentenced to 20 years in prison in August.

 

He implicated the cop's wife, Nongcebo and Khulani Cele, who's serving a life sentence in a Pietermaritzburg prison in the officer's murder.

Captain Ntombela was 50 years old at the time of his death.
