Eleven slain in four-year killing spree

THE JOHANNESBURG High Court sentenced a man to 25 years behind bars for a four-year killing spree he went on with his mother.

Both Le Roux Steyn, 22, and his mother, Marinda, 51, were convicted of 11 murders, robbery and racketeering. The mother was jailed for 115 years.

The two, plus his sister, Marcel, 20, began their killing spree in 2012 in Krugersdorp, and it lasted until 2016. Cecilia Steyn, 37, Marcel Steyn, and Zak Valentine, 33, who also allegedly committed the crimes with the Steyn family, are still to go on trial. – African News Agency (ANA)
