THE noble ideas of internationally known historian David Rattray were destroyed by six armed robbers who went to his famous Fugitives Drift Lodge and shot him dead.
This was said yesterday by Judge Kate Pillay in the Pietermaritzburg High Court, when she jailed two members of the gang for life for Rattray’s murder, and 10 years for the attempted robbery of Rattray and his receptionist.

The accused, Simphiwe Ndlovu and Sibonela Mponza, pleaded not guilty to the crimes.
Three other members of the gang were earlier jailed for 25 years.
