The Gauteng High Court in Johannesburg has handed three of the so-called Krugersdorp killers multiple life sentences in connection with a series of murders and related crimes.

Cecilia Steyn, Zak Valentine and Marcel Steyn were found guilty of 32 counts between them, including murder, fraud, racketeering and robbery.

Between 2012 and 2016, the three formed part of a group that called itself Electus per Deus (Chosen by God), which murdered 11 people.
