South African police said Wednesday they had arrested a 50-year old woman for ordering the assassination of her two sons as part of a suspected life insurance scam.
.
Police said the woman from Port Shepstone, south of Durban, recruited a relative to carry out the double murder, but the man reported her to the police.
.
The job was to be done for around $2,400 (1,800 euros), but she had requested a family discount.
.
"The alleged motive for the killing was that she wanted to claim on insurance policies she had taken out on her sons," police said in a statement.
.
The woman promised the hitman three more jobs if he successfully pulled off the two murders, the statement said.
.
Police also found her in possession of insurance documents and four other identity cards.
What on earth is wrong with some human beings? What kind of mother will organise such a devlish act?
