The man who murdered a couple and their daughter on Good Friday 2012 on their farm outside Griekwastad, when he was only 15 years old, is eligible for parole this year.
Kimberley – There were no tears or any display of emotion as the 17-year-old teenager, accused of killing three members of the Steenkamp family, heard the words “guilty” on the all charges.
However, he hugged and kissed family members as well as his guardians before he was led away to the youth detention section at Kimberley Correctional Centre where he will remain in custody until he returns to court on May 13.
The boy was found guilty of the premeditated murders of Deon Steenkamp, 44, his wife Christel, 43, and their 14-year-old daughter Marthella. He also raped Marthella and was found guilty of defeating the ends of justice in the Northern Cape High Court yesterday.
Their lifeless and bloodied bodies were found with multiple bullet wounds on their farm, Naauwhoek, near Griquatown April 6 2012.
Northern Cape High Court Judge President Frans Kgomo was convinced that not only was the accused responsible for raping Marthella between 12 and 24 hours before her death, but that it was not the first time that she was the victim of sexual abuse.
