A man in KwaZulu-Natal has been sentenced after DNA evidence linked him to the violent street rape of a woman in 2013, ending a decade-long evasion of justice. According to The Citizen, the man was arrested on an unrelated charge, and DNA analysis subsequently connected him to the 2013 attack. A KZN court handed down the sentence following the forensic breakthrough, which finally brought closure to a case that had remained unsolved for roughly ten years.
