A 59-year-old man, Kista Sergie Chetty, has been sentenced to five life jail terms by the Durban High Court in South Africa for the murder of his wife, their three children and a relative.
Chetty killed Elisha Naidoo, 36, Jadene Naidoo, 13, Liam Naidoo, 8, Jordan Naidoo, 8 and Aldrin Chetty, 4, by setting them alight in their home in Kidstone Place, Phoenix, after a heated argument.
The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) provincial spokesperson, Natasha Ramkisson-Kara, in a statement on Monday, December 4, 2023, said in addition to the life imprisonment, he received an additional 49 years imprisonment for six counts of attempted murder and arson.
“Chetty lived with his wife, Elisha Naidoo and their five minor children in a house which they rented in Kidstone Place in Phoenix. They shared the house with other family members, including his wife’s brother," Ramkisson-Kara said.
“On October 31, 2021, Chetty had an argument with his wife and his brother-in-law, and they chased Chetty away from the house.”
Chetty harassed the occupants of the house, wanting to be let back inside but they did not allow him in, and they went to sleep.
