JOHANNESBURG - The trio of murderers known as the "Krugersdorp Killers" are expected to be sentenced in the High Court in Johannesburg on Monday morning.
The motives included trying to solicit money from insurance, revenge and trying to silence former members of their cult. Cecilia Steyn, Zack Valentine and Marcel Steyn were part of the Electus Per Deus group which means "chosen by god".During pre-sentencing proceedings last week, lawyers for the youngest of the accused, Marcel Steyn, who is 21, requested that she clarify certain points from her testimony, which she believed were not articulated sufficiently.
Through her lawyer Advcate Sharon Johnson she told the court that she had been manipulated and indoctrinated by the other two. But the State argued that if these submissions were new they could not be considered by the judge at the pre-sentencing stage.
