Krugersdorpmurders | 'The matter involved evil versus good. The matter is a reminder of the dangers religious people face.'

Cecilia Steyn, 37, Zak Valentine, 33, and Marcel Steyn, 21, have pleaded not guilty to 32 counts, including murder, robbery with aggravating circumstances, fraud and intimidation.

Marcel's mother, Marinda Steyn, 51, has already been sentenced to 11 life terms for the killing spree. Her brother, Le Roux Steyn, entered into a plea bargain with the state in 2018 and is serving a 25-year prison term. The state's case is that they were all part of Electus Per Deus, a group that viewed itself as"chosen by God" and which allegedly killed 11 people between 2012 and 2016.
