Convicted of the murder of student activists Kafis Inyoka, Abraham Engelbrecht and Peter Stander returned to the dock today for sentencing proceedings in the Johannesburg High Court sitting in Benoni. In December, the pair was convicted of Nyoka's 1987 murder, but a third accused, Leon Vandenberg, was acquitted. Nyoka, who was a student leader, was murdered by apartheid forces at his home in Daveyton in the East Rand. Komotomodise reported.
