Xolani Gaji and Cebisile Mfundiso died. Aphiwe Nogaya survived after being hospitalised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Surveillance footage, along with forensic and ballistic evidence, linked Dayi to the Delft shooting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Senior state advocate Esna Erasmus told the court that the families of the deceased had effectively received \u201ca different kind of life sentence\u201d marked by grief and trauma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-previous-convictions-and-parole-status\">Previous convictions and parole status<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the National Prosecuting Authority, Dayi had previous convictions for robbery and rape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He was sentenced to 18 years\u2019 imprisonment for rape and released on parole on 17 April 2018.
