Two to be sentenced for 'satanic' murder
Updated | By Staff Writer
Cousins Lindon Wagner and Robin Harwood are expected to be sentenced for their part in the murder of Kirsty Theologo as well as attempted murder and assault, in the High Court in Johannesburg, sitting in Palm Ridge, on Tuesday.
Theologo died of her injuries in hospital a week after an apparent Satanic ritual on a hill in Linmeyer, Johannesburg, in October 2011.
Her 14-year-old friend was also assaulted but survived the attack.
Initially six people were charged for Theologo's killing and the attempted murder of her friend.
Harvey Isha was acquitted of all the charges in November.
Courtney Daniels, 18, was convicted of common assault for lacing the victims' drinks with brake fluid prior to the attack.
She was sentenced to six months in prison, suspended for five years.
Two other men, Lester Moody and Jeremy King, earlier confessed to the killing and were sentenced to 17 years behind bars, five of which were suspended.
