Fifteen years for teen taxi driver’s killers

After admitting to the strangling death of 17-year-old taxi-driver Dhanraj Latchman, youths Asaf Alli and Abdool Shazim Razack were yesterday each sentenced to 15 years in jail for the crime.

Justice Navindra Singh handed down the sentences to the two young men after they opted to plead guilty to manslaughter, after initially maintaining their innocence on the charge of murder.

They accepted that they unlawfully killed Latchman during a robbery between June 10 and June 14, 2014.
