Pretoria – The family of murdered couple Anisha and Joey van Niekerk has called for a life sentence for the killers after they were convicted of the double murders on Wednesday afternoon.
The man said to be the mastermind behind the gruesome killings, Koos Strydom, was absent in the dock, as he had committed suicide last year in jail by apparently taking an overdose of pills or poison. The motive for the December 10, 2017 killings, which also shocked the Mooinooi community near Brits, appeared to be greed.
The pair went missing on the Sunday of their death. Their burnt-out car was found on December 16 in the Magaliesburg area.
