THE three men behind the murder and dismemberment of a Pinelands man whose body was found stuffed in a burning suitcase at a train station have been sentenced to life behind bars.

Previn Pillay, 23, from Pinelands, was last seen alive on December 23, 2020, leaving his home in his white Toyota Hilux.

The bumper of the vehicle was later recovered in Sunbird Park, but the bakkie was never recovered. A week after his disappearance, cops were called to Hazendal train station in Athlone, where a suitcase containing a dismembered body was discovered.
