Ndlovu was sentenced two weeks ago by the Palm Ridge High Court and was handed down six life sentences for killing family members and a lover.

The ex-cop was also sentenced for insurance fraud and the attempted murder of her mother and instigating the murders of her sister and five young children and was given a 10-year sentence for each count, according to a report by News24.

Nomia Ndlovu plots to kill behind bars

Following her arrest, the investigating officer Sergeant Keshi Benneth Mabunda says Ndlovu made several calls to insurance companies, attempting to claim a policy she had taken out on one of her relatives.

According to TimesLIVE, Ndlovu had insured her younger sister, Runny Ndlovu, who died after being ill. Mabunda says after learning about what Ndlovu was trying to do behind bars, he notified the insurance companies about her antics while investigating her case.

He then received a call from an insurance company that wanted know to know the status of Ndlovu, explaining that she had been trying to claim a payout.

Mabunda then explained that a police informant informed him that Ndlovu was planning to kill him too, adding that Ndlovu also threatened the life of his son.

Mabunda then made the decision to lodge a criminal complaint against her. He explains that Ndlovu somehow managed to get a cellphone while she was behind bars and that's how she was communicating with people on the outside.

In addition to trying to kill him, Mabunda says Ndlovu also tried to bribe him to stop investigating her.
