Judgment day for necrophiliac

Judgment in the trial of self-confessed child killer Mortimer Saunders resumes today in the Western Cape High Court before Judge Babalwa Mantame.

Saunders was arrested in May last year after the body of three-year-old Courtney Pieters was found in Epping, Industria, after she went missing from her Elsies River home.

Saunders denied raping the girl before she died, but admitted to necrophilia. He claimed she died from the poison he gave her. – ANA
