Durban – Chilling details of two Shongweni families’ night of terror at the hands of an armed gang who killed, raped and robbed, have emerged in the Durban High Court.

On trial is Sihle Sandile Ndlovu, 25, alleged to be the sole remaining member of the gang.

He pleaded not guilty on Monday to six counts of murder, rape, attempted murder and two counts of housebreaking.
