A life-term combined with 20 years have been handed to the abusive parents of 3-year-old BabyDaniel, who had a gruesome death after suffering burns on 60% of his body.
Johannesburg - A life-term combined with 20 years have been handed to the abusive parents of 3-year-old Baby Daniel, who had a gruesome death after suffering burns on 60% of his body from boiling water.
Cloete, 30, and her former live-in lover Naidoo, 38, were convicted in December for the brutal murder of Baby Daniel in June 2016. "When this court imposes sentence on you, you will know that it is the will of the people," Judge Matshitse said. "When she is sentenced, my request would be that would be considered and deducted from the sentence. Advocate Nemaunzeni, on behalf of Naidoo, also asked for leniency, citing Naidoo's "relative" young age as well as those of his surviving three children, the oldest of whom is a 15-year-old girl.
Rubin said the argument that the two convicted criminals had young children who would grow up without parents should be rejected.
