Pretoria - A 24-year-old Bushbuckridge man was sentenced to life imprisonment by Pretoria High Court on Monday for murdering his 10-year-old sister, said Limpopo police.
Captain Moatshe Ngoepe said Michael Mogane killed his younger sister, Patricia, and chopped her body into pieces in April 2001.
Mogane bundled the victim's body in a trunk and was about to move it when he was arrested later that same day.
Police were told of the crime by villagers who had seen him committing the murder.
The motive for the killing was still not clear.
