The Worcester Regional Court has sentenced two murderers from Worcester, Western Cape, to lengthy prison terms after they were found guilty of setting fire to their partners.
He killed his partner, Monica Daniels.
The court heard that on the day of the incident, 12 October 2022, the couple was bickering at their Shrike Street home in Avian Park, Worcester, about money that the deceased’s son sought. Ratanjie argued that Erasmus was in a position of trust, and the deceased relied on him for her well-being, love, and protection. He instead acted in a brutal, callous, and violent way. She argued that the heinous nature of the offence cannot be reduced to the point where it justifies deviating from the court’s discretionary powers.
