More than two years after Jerobejin Van Wyk's murder shocked the sleepy West Coast town of Klawer, the 13-year-old's family is expected to finally see justice.
CAPE TOWN - Chairperson of the police portfolio committee, Ian Cameron, said it’s critical that South Africans become more outspoken regarding violence against children.
Judgment is expected in the case against Daniel Smit, who last week pleaded guilty to all five charges against him, including murder, kidnapping and violating a corpse. Smit admitted he became involved with a Chinese occult group at the age of 13, and killed Jerobejin by breaking his neck in one swift movement, as he was taught by this group.
"It bothers me that someone like this could have had access to these children and likely to many other children for so long. Someone, somewhere had to have known about his background. What he did wasn't just a normal crime, the cruelty in this is just absolutely horrific."
