Former Cop Ruthlessly Killed Six Relatives For Insurance Money
She was caught red-handed, planning the murders of her sister and her five children and mother.
On November 5, 2021, Nomia Rosemary Ndlovu was finally handed six life sentences in court. She killed six of her closest loved ones for insurance money, and unless the hired hitman hadn’t confided in the police, she would have escaped all accountability. Yet, chillingly, despite irrefutable evidence, Nomia refused to plead guilty till the bitter end.

The 46-year-old former police sergeant pocketed more than 1.4m Rand ($95,000; £69,000) from the ridiculously ruthless killings. The list of victims is chilling.

Two years later, in October 2015, Nomia hired a hitman to stab her boyfriend, Maurice Mabasa, around eighty times. He died a painful death. To add to the inhumanity of the crime, Maurice was also the father of her child. These crimes beg the question: did Nomia not possess a heart? Did she really have no attachment whatsoever to these loved ones? Was the money worth it?
During the next three years, Nomia killed two more of her nephews. Without any care whatsoever of its impact on her relatives, she brutally plowed them down and pocketed their hefty…
