A South African police constable, Austin Reynold, has been sentenced to 30 years in jail for killing a Nigerian man, Ebuka Okori, in Durban in 2018.
He was sentenced three days after he was found guilty of shooting the victim at close range and robbing him during an unauthorised raid on a community where Okoli resided.
He was charged with one count of murder and three counts of robbery. Reynold‘s accomplice in the raid, Brinley Pallo, testified against him.
