Khwinana chased Lucas and caught him, which was when Lucas stabbed the actor.<\/p>\n<p>Phahlane said it was clear Lucas had the intention to kill if his victim fought back on the evening he committed the robbery.<\/p>\n<p><b>Lies, contradictions and asylum<\/b><\/p>\n<p>She delved into testimony and reports on Lucas, which helped her come to the finding he was not remorseful.<\/p>\n<p>Lucas maintained he did not commit the murder and was at home sleeping on the night of the incident. He never called a witness to corroborate his alibi.<\/p>\n<p>Lucas claimed, without evidence, he was framed. He said this to the probation officer, who compiled a pre-sentencing report.<\/p>\n<p>However, the court noted other contradictions between his testimony and the report.<\/p>\n<p>Lucas told the probation officer he had a child, but in court he said it was his girlfriend&#8217;s child and could not even give the correct age of the minor.<\/p>\n<p>Actor Sibusiso Khwinana&#8217;s murderer fires lawyer ahead of sentencing, wants case to be reopened<\/p>\n<p>He told the probation officer he once attempted to get asylum but was told by a Department of Home Affairs official it would cost R2 500.<\/p>\n<p>However, during the trial, under cross-examination, he told the court he tried to get asylum papers on numerous occasions and a friend told him it would cost R2 500.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The accused could not explain why he kept changing his version,&#8221; said the judge.<\/p>\n<p>Lucas also told the probation officer he regularly paid for an asylum permit but that was established to be not true.<\/p>\n<p>Phahlane further pointed out Lucas did not qualify for asylum and came to South Africa to look for job opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>The court previously accepted evidence from Home Affairs that Lucas had been in the country illegally for more than 19 years.<\/p>\n<p>When he was arrested, he gave police a temporary asylum permit.<\/p>\n<p>However, Home Affairs said this document was fraudulent, and it had no details of Lucas on its system.<\/p>\n<p>He was also found in possession of another asylum permit, which he claimed was his. It contained the details of a different person.<\/p>\n<p><b>Life imprisonment<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The court said it could find no compelling and substantial circumstances to deviate from the minimum prescribed sentences for murder and robbery with aggravating circumstances.<\/p>\n<p>Phahlane said Lucas failed to appreciate the hospitality he received in South Africa. Instead, he robbed the country of a true young talent who had so much left to offer the entertainment industry.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to handing down the sentences, Phahlane also ordered that Lucas be deported to his country of origin once he has served his sentence.<\/p>\n<p><b>Leave to appeal<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Following sentencing, Lucas, through his legal aid attorney, applied for leave to appeal against his conviction and sentence.<\/p>\n<p>He accused the court of:<\/p>\n<p>Following the State&#8217;s submissions that the Court had scrutinised the evidence carefully and correctly, Phahlane went through each point made by Lucas&#8217; defence.<\/p>\n<p>She dismissed every point, relaying the facts of the case and subsequently rejected the leave to appeal.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/south-africa\">South-Africa<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; South-Africa.
