A Gqeberha man was found guilty in the Port Elizabeth High Court on Thursday of a gang-related triple murder and attempted murder.
National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) spokesperson Anelisa Ngcakani said Neaven Demingo, 23, had also been convicted on two charges of unlawful possession of a firearm and ammunition.
On April 30 2019, Demingo and another man approached Austin Carlo Tembula, Fernando Oswald Ashia and a third man, who is not being named to protect his identity, near an electric substation in Hibiscus Street, Bethelsdorp.
After 11 years of testimony, numerous postponements and a mountain of evidence, judgment in the protracted murder trial of German nationals Jens Leunberg and Kristina Adler eventually kicked off in the Port Elizabeth High Court on Thursday.
