Moodley, Leigh Matthews's killer, has never disclosed who his partner in crime was – or who he believed framed him.

Instead, a municipal worker discovered her naked body in a veld in Walkerville, south Johannesburg, 12 days after she had disappeared. She had been shot in the back of the head. Speaking at a press conference hosted by Woman and Men Against Child Abuse and the family on Monday, the Matthews’ lawyer, Peter van Niekerk of Eversheds, said they were vehemently opposed to Moodley’s release and that while a date for a parole hearing had not yet been set, they had already started drafting representations.Van Niekerk – who also sits on the WMACA board – described Moodley as a “monster” and his crimes as “carefully planned”.

Van Niekerk on Monday said this wasn’t “the conduct of someone who is showing any remorse”. Matthews’ father Rob Matthews also said their fight wasn’t “just about Leigh”.The family, together with WMACA, have raised serious concerns with the parole process itself, calling for it to be more transparent and victim-centric.
