The men convicted of killing a woman for her body parts in the infamous "cannibal case" have been sentenced to life in prison.

Judge Peter Olsen said Nino Mbatha, 33, and Lungisani Magubane, 32, were guilty of "the most heinous crime" when sentencing the two in the KwaZulu-Natal High Court in
Pietermaritzburg. A third accused, Khayelihle Lamula, was acquitted on Tuesday.

Mbatha and Magubane were convicted of murdering Zanele Hlatshwayo in Estcourt last year. Mbatha, a traditional healer, was acquitted on charges of being in possession of
Hlatshwayo's body parts and also for "dealing" in body parts by offering them for sale.

The story hit the headlines last year when Mbatha walked into the Estcourt police station community centre, carrying a small bag and a horn usually associated with traditional
healers, and announced that he was "tired" of eating human flesh.

Judge Olsen acquitted Mbatha for being in possession of body parts because he said it was a duplication of the murder charge. This was because the court found that Hlatshwayo
was killed for her body parts.

When Mbatha originally arrived at the police station, the police officers did not believe him as he appeared mentally unstable. However, he persisted with his story and then
produced a human hand and a leg from his bag. Subsequently, when police went to Mbatha’s house, they found more body parts there.

Mental instability, guilt, confusion.

These types of people usually take a cocktail of different drugs so it's like he's been off his face for a long amount of time also. He didn't go to the police to inform them he didn't like Human anymore, he handed himself in for his crimes.
