Dear Anonymous,  thank you for the following comment:  "Is he rotting in prison yet I hope he is not just for destroying my sisters life but for destroying many innocent girls' lives and that of their families"

I would firstly like to convey my heart felt condolences to you and your family,  I myself have never had the need to deal with a traumatic experience such as this.  

He is not yet in prison as of yet.

Skrif aan die muur vir Sondag-Verkragter

Die skrif is aan die muur vir Jaco Steyn (36),  nadat sy ex-vrou op 30 Julie in die hof teen hom getuig het.

Steyn het haar na bewering geskakel en gesê "Ek het weer iemand ontvoer,  eks ‘n monster en eks deurmekaar."

Steyn word beskuldig daarvan dat hy op 12 Oktober 2012 die 16-jarige Louise de Waal ontvoer het toe sy en haar vriendin,Natasha Gordon,  oppad was na Hoërskool Die Burger.

Volgens Steyn se vrou het hy ook gesê dat hy gaan aanhou ry en dat as die polisie by die huis sou opdaag moet sy sê dit was hy.

Steyn sê egter dat hy dit nie aan haar gesê het nie terwyl hy sy gesig afvee met ‘n sakdoek.
Volgens Steyn het hy vir Michelle,  sy vrou,  gesê dat terwyl die ondersoek aan die gang is gaan hy laag lê.

Hy sê ook dat hy sy vrou gebel het om te sê dat daar polisie by hul huis in Wilropark,  Roodepoort was.
 
"Ek het hom vooreen gekonfronteer oor die vorige artikels,  en die kar wat soortgelyk was aan dié wat hy gebruik het,"  sê Michelle.

"Hy het gesê dis nie hy nie,"

Daar is ook petrol kanne op Steyn se perseel gevind en toe hul Michelle daaroor vra is gesê dat dit vir ‘n parafien verwarmer gebruik is.
 

Mr Price gee terug aan die gemeenskap op 18 Julie

De Waal alive when set alight

Johannesburg - Murdered teenager Louise de Waal was alive when she was set alight, the High Court, sitting in the Palm Ridge Magistrate's Court in Alberton, heard on Wednesday.

Forensic specialist Gina Rowe testified that soot and bloodstained froth was found when she examined De Waal's trachea and bronchi.

"It was inhaled into her lungs."

Judge Sida Kolbe asked if De Waal was alive for this to happen, to which Rowe answered: "It would have been an indication of life".

Foot burnt off

De Waal's mother Shereen gasped "Oh, my God", putting her hands over her mouth. But Rowe said there was not a lot of soot in her trachea, and therefore it was possible she had been unconscious.

Rowe explained the graphic findings of the post mortem, including De Waal's badly burnt scalp and protruding tongue. Her left foot was burnt off her body and the soft tissue was burnt off her lower legs.

Her carbon monoxide levels were at 9.8%, which Rowe said was high.

"I would expect lower levels (because she was burnt outside)."

Johannes Jacobus Steyn, dubbed the "Sunday Rapist", is accused of murdering school girls De Waal and Lazanne Farmer.

He is also charged with 11 counts of rape, 10 of sexual assault, 10 of kidnapping, one of attempted sexual assault, one of attempted kidnapping and two of assault.

The 11 girls he allegedly attacked between 2008 and 2011 were all between 11 and 18 years old.
The 36-year-old pleaded not guilty to all 37 charges against him on Monday.

On Tuesday, the court heard that an identikit compiled by a friend of De Waal's led to Steyn's arrest.

Steyn unresponsive

Policeman Warrant Officer Riaan Jooste testified that he received a call on October 17, the day De Waal was murdered, from a woman who wanted to remain anonymous.

Jooste narrowed the list down to 17 possible suspects, searched police files and found Steyn in the system because he had previously laid a complaint against someone else.

This led Warrant Officer Danie Pieterse to search for a silver bakkie at Steyn's house, which he found. He could not enter the property because the gate was locked.

During a break in proceedings, De Waal's mother Shereen commanded Steyn to look at her, but the unresponsive Steyn kept his head down throughout the day, a Bible beside him, making notes.

Trial with in a trial - Sunday Rapist

As seen on News24

Johannesburg - A trial within a trial has started in the "Sunday Rapist" case in the High Court, sitting in the Palm Ridge Magistrate's Court, in Alberton.

Magistrate Sune Jansen van Vuuren was testifying on Wednesday on the admissibility of a statement given by the accused, Johannes Jacobus Steyn, on October 14 last year in Krugersdorp after his arrest.

She said he was informed of his rights, including his right to have a lawyer present. He declined to make use of this right.

He told her he wanted no special treatment, only forgiveness.

"Ek wil net he my kop moet skoon kom [I only want my head to become clear]," she testified him saying.

"Ek wil net verstaan hoekom ek gedoen het wat ek gedoen het. As iemand my net daarmee kan help [I just want to understand why I did what I did. If someone can just help me with that]."

Jansen van Vuuren said Steyn did not want a long trial and he appeared calm, but emotional.

Steyn's lawyer Anton Lerm put it to her that his client was told what to say and paused before answering.

However, she denied this and said she would have recalled this.

Rapist feared torture

As seen on News24

Johannesburg - The "Sunday Rapist" was forced into making an incriminating statement, the South Gauteng High Court sitting in the Palm Ridge Magistrate's Court in Alberton heard on Wednesday.

"If he did not play along he would have been tortured," Anton Lerm, for Jaco Steyn, told the court.

Lerm questioned investigating officer Peet du Toit during a trial within a trail on the admissibility of a statement made to a magistrate in Krugersdorp.

Lerm said Du Toit promised Steyn if he made a statement and pleaded guilty, he would receive a short trial.

Du Toit replied: "Your honour, that is totally false."

Steyn is accused of murdering school girls Louise de Waal and Lazanne Farmer.

He is also charged with 11 counts of rape, 10 of sexual assault, 10 of kidnapping, one of attempted sexual assault, one of attempted kidnapping and two of assault.

The 11 girls he allegedly attacked between 2008 and 2011 were all between 11 and 18 years old.

The 36-year-old pleaded not guilty to all 37 charges against him on Monday.

Lerm said Steyn was promised the trial would go away quietly.

"That's absurd, how could I let the case go away quietly? It already had national coverage," Du Toit said.

Wanted him to escape

Lerm asked why Steyn was only brought back to Krugersdorp a day after he handed himself over in Margate in KwaZulu-Natal on 13 October last year.

Lerm said en route his client was left in an idling police vehicle with weapons inside.

He argued this was done to provoke Steyn to escape. Du Toit denied knowledge of this.

Du Toit testified that Steyn phoned him the day after De Waal's murder from Margate and said he tried to commit suicide.

Du Toit told him to hand himself over at the nearest police station and not meet halfway as Steyn had suggested.

Lerm argued that Du Toit told Steyn he should go to a police station because he would be shot by police if found.

Du Toit said this was untrue; he never said Steyn would be shot, he handed himself over willingly.

Lerm said the police docket and what Steyn should say to the magistrate were discussed with him beforehand.

Steyn feared he would be tortured if he did not co-operate.

Du Toit denied this.

"I find that totally absurd. He had a smile on his face [when he was brought in]. He was cool and calm. He greeted everyone by hand... He was not nervous. He said he wanted to clear his heart and was glad it was over."

Pulled over

Captain Martin Smith was recalled and corroborated Du Toit's testimony.

"The accusations that the accused are making didn't happen before me."

Warrant officer Andre van der Mescht was the last witness called to testify on Wednesday. He was one of the officers who drove Steyn from Margate to Krugerdsorp.

He testified that they didn't speak to Steyn and only stopped for petrol and once for food.

He said they were pulled over at a toll gate by police and asked who they were and where they were going. The conversation took no more than five minutes.

Asked by the State to explain why Steyn was only taken to Krugersdorp the day after he handed himself over, Van der Mescht said they had been working the day and the night before.

They then drove to Margate.

"It would have been very irresponsible to drive directly back with the accused."

The trial was postponed for cross-examination and the conclusion of the trial within a trial on Thursday.

As seen on News24


Johannesburg - Jaco Steyn, dubbed the "Sunday rapist", said he was told to plead guilty when he took the stand in the High Court, sitting in the Palm Ridge Magistrate's Court in Alberton on Thursday.

He was testifying on what police told him prior to an incriminating statement he made to a magistrate in Krugersdorp, the day after he handed himself over in October 2011.

He said he admitted to crimes he did not commit because he had a previous conviction.

"Take the punch... because you won't get out of this... go on with your life... this is the easy way out for you," he said police told him.

He said he was briefed on what to say by investigating officer Peet du Toit before making the statement to the magistrate.
