GLOVER’S KILLER SENTENCED TO 20YRS IMPRISONMENT

MBABANE – He brutally murdered Nhlangano socialite Kayla Glover, and the court has ruled that he be kept away from society for the next two decades.

Yesterday Chief Justice Bheki Maphalala sentenced Tony Zola Mamba (36) to 20 years imprisonment.
This was after the High Court convicted Mamba of murder with extenuating circumstances. He violently butchered to death Glover who was 26 years old.

The deceased died after Mamba hit her with the backside of an axe on the back of her head twice while at Club Rehab in Nhlangano in March 2015. Glover was pronounced dead on arrival at Nhlangano Health Centre.
 The sentence has been backdated to September 16, 2015 when Mamba’s bail was terminated in terms of the Section 145 of the Criminal Procedure and Evidence Act of 1938.

The chief justice described Glover’s death as gruesome and horrendous. He said the evidence that was led showed that her murder was brutal.
“The accused assaulted the deceased by hitting her twice on the head with the backside of an axe and she fell to the ground and became unconscious. Notwithstanding the vicious assault, the accused kicked the deceased several times as she lay on the ground.

“The vicious attack on the deceased was unprovoked; on the contrary, it was the accused who had provoked the deceased,” said the chief justice who added that the extent of the injuries on Glover were severe in that her skull was fractured.
Chief Justice Maphalala said he took into account Mamba’s circumstances, particularly that he was a young man and should be given a second chance in life. The court also considered that Mamba had three minor children who depended on him for maintenance.
