Onthatile Sebati, the woman who orchestrated the murders of her parents, pregnant sister and brother when she was a teenager, was handed a 25-year sentence by the Pretoria high court.
Sebati’s cousins Tumelo and Kagiso Mokone were sentenced to life imprisonment.
Their sentencing was delivered on Tuesday afternoon after mitigation and aggravating arguments presented by defence and the state.
Sebati is accused of planning the December 2016 murders of her parents Const Solomon Lucky Sebati, mother Mmatshepo, her 19-year-old pregnant sister Tshegofatso and her three-year-old brother Quinton at their home in Mmakau near Brits, North West.
Sebati, 24, was only 15 years old when the crime was committed with the assistance of her cousins Tumelo and Kagiso Mokone who she paid R100,000 from insurance payouts she received after the murders.
