50-year-old mum arrested for planning sons’ assasination.

JOHANNESBURG (AFP) – South African police
said Wednesday they had arrested a 50-
year-old woman for ordering the
assassination of her two sons as part of a
suspected life insurance scam.
Police said the woman from Port Shepstone,
south of Durban, recruited a relative to carry
out the double murder, but the man
reported her to the police.
The job was to be done for around $2,400
(1,800 euros), but she had requested a
family discount.
“The alleged motive for the killing was that
she wanted to claim on insurance policies
she had taken out on her sons,” police said
in a statement.
The woman promised the hitman three
more jobs if he successfully pulled off the
two murders, the statement said.
Police also found her in possession of
insurance documents and four other
identity cards.
The woman has been charged with a
conspiracy to commit murder and will
appear in court on Thursday.
