Judgment will be passed today on Johannes Steyn, who is charged with the kidnapping and murder of teenagers Louise de Waal and Lazanne Farmer. The case is being heard in the Palm Ridge Magistrate’s Court in Alberton.
Steyn has pleaded not guilty to two counts of murder, 11 of rape, 10 of sexual assault, 10 of kidnapping, attempted sexual assault, attempted kidnapping. Witnesses have denied Steyn’s claims that they were with him on the days some of the crimes were committed.
De Waal, a leaner at Hoerskool Die Burger, in Roodeport, was kidnapped while walking with a friend to school in October last year. De Waal’s burnt body was found on a Magaliesberg farm later the same day.
