While his murder conviction stands, he will serve five years less than his initial sentence, as the Supreme Court has reduced the sentence to 15 years.

The Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected his appeal against his murder conviction. Five justices found that the evidence is clear that Rohde had strangled her.

In once again analysing all the evidence, the Supreme Court this week concluded that Susan did not hang herself. Judge Halmina Saldulker, who wrote the judgment, added that “it must regrettably be said” that save for the findings that the appellant strangled the deceased and attempted to stage her suicide, the high court, which initially sentenced Rohde, merely speculated when it found that he had also punched his wife.

“He murdered his wife in a brutal and callous manner. The deceased’s death must be devastating to her daughters and those who loved her.”
