Jailed serial killer gets 40 more years

A 25-YEAR-OLD convict, Bryn Mupayiki, who is serving a 20-year jail term for murder, was yesterday slapped with another 40-year jail term after he was convicted of killing two other victims within a three-month period.

Mupayiki, who was represented by Blessmore Museba, was lucky to escape the hangman’s noose after High Court judge Justice Garainesu Mawadze decided not to send him to the gallows as requested by prosecutor Douglas Chesa. Addressing the court before sentencing, Chesa said Mupayiki deserved capital punishment for the double murders.
