The man discovered liable of guilty murder regarding the 2015 auto collision that prompted the passings of Top Billing moderator Simba Mhere and his companion Kady-Shay O’Bryan, has been condemned to 10 years in jail.
The Randburg Magistrate’s Court condemned Preshalin Naidoo on Monday.
“The issue was deferred to tomorrow (Tuesday) for the State to contend against his leave to advance,” State advocate Yusuf Baba said.
Naidoo was found guilty in January of two counts of culpable homicide, as well as negligent and reckless driving.
In his judgment on the conviction, Magistrate David Mahango rejected Naidoo’s entire defence and dismissed Naidoo’s version of events that he had been travelling at a speed of 61km/h at the time of the collision.
Minutes before the accident, Naidoo had been travelling at 210km/h.
Naidoo’s car tracker had recorded 37 incidents in which the speed limit had been exceeded.
