'I sold my soul to the devil'
Bloemfontein - He sold his soul to the devil and conjured up evil spirits before the murder of 64-year-old Emmerentia Botha of the farm Skuilhoek in the Wanda district, says the man sentenced for raping and murdering her.
"Evil spirits sometimes make me say and do wrong things," Willem Vis, 23, said while testifying against his 15-year-old companion.
The young boy from Luckhoff is appearing before Judge A Kruger in the Free State High Court on charges of house-breaking with intent to rob, robbery with aggravating circumstances, rape and murder.
Vis testified that he called on the evil spirits before they went to the farm.
He said he felt that he had to sell his soul to the devil, because life was not good to him and he had suffered.
"I wanted a life of wrong-doing."
Vis admitted guilt and was sentenced last week to 37 years in prison, plus life imprisonment.

Wambach killers sentenced to 20 years in jail
Wood thieves Richard Khoza and Wilson Manganye were sent to jail for 20 years on Tuesday for the murder of Ludwig Wambach - a man once allegedly linked to the gruesome murders of his mother and sister.
Acting Judge Solly Sithole sentenced Khoza, 21, of Mamelodi, and Manganye, 36, of Winterveld, for the February 2006 murder of Wambach, who was found hanging by his neck from a tree.
The judge said it was especially aggravating that Wambach was murdered in the sanctity and presumed safety of his own property.
A life sentence was, however, not applicable as the murder had not been premeditated, but was preceded by an argument between the accused and Wambach about the accused cutting wood illegally on his farm.
The judge recommended the two must serve at least two thirds of their sentence before being considered for parole.
Khoza earlier told the court they hanged Wambach from a tree to make it look as if he had committed suicide.
The court rejected Manganye's claims that he had never foreseen Wambach's death and had only tied a rope around his neck so that he could not follow them.
Wambach's decomposing body was found on his knees with a rope tied his neck and around the branch of a tree in a remote spot on his smallholding.
One of his farm workers earlier told the court that Khoza, who was caught stealing wood on the smallholding about a month before the incident, was the last person to be seen with Wambach. He said the two were clearly involved in some kind of argument.
Judge Sithole found that the accused had a common purpose to kill Wambach when they hanged him from the tree, leaving him there and "riding into the sunset with their donkey cart".
Both had foreseen that Wambach would die but it did not matter to them.
There were drag marks on the ground indicating that Manganye must have dragged Wambach 50m by the rope around his neck to the tree where they hanged him.
Wambach's niece, Madeleen Bredenhann, received two life sentences for axing to death her mother, Elmarie Bredenhann and grandmother, Albertina Wambach, in their beds in 2002, but during her trial pointed the finger at Wambach as the real killer. He strenuously denied her claims. Her appeal is still pending.

Addict murdered benefactors
Pietermaritzburg - A 22-year-old drug addict who admitted to bludgeoning two people to death, has been jailed for an effective 30 years by the Pietermaritzburg High Court on Wednesday.
Wade Anthony Schoeman, of Hibberdene, said that after he had killed the men, he had exchanged their cars and other possessions for drugs.
Judge Chimon Patel said Schoeman had grown up in a dysfunctional home. His father had left when he was still small, his alcoholic mother had married a man 13 years younger than her and they had not given him guidance.
Refused to give him money
When he was about 15 he realised that he was gay, which made his real father reject him. This may have made him turn to dagga at first and then to heroin and crack cocaine. He also formed relationships with older men.
On June 2, 2006 in the home of his host, Edwin White, aged 70, of Durban, White refused to give him money for drugs. He said he could no longer deal with Schoeman's drug problem and that they should stop seeing each other.
Schoeman said that he had felt used and betrayed and stabbed White, hit him with an ashtray and then smashed his head with a golf club.
He then took White's car and other goods to a Nigerian drug dealer and exchanged them for drugs.
Two days later he was told by Jonathan Durant, 45, of Port Shepstone, with whom, he said, he had had a "tumultuous" relationship, that he would end their relationship.
"This made me angry and helpless and I was unable to sleep. In the small hours of June 4 I went to his room armed with his hammer and hit his head several times.
"I drove his car to Durban and exchanged it and his other items for drugs."
Deeds would haunt him
Patel said that it seemed his benefactors had helped him with money for drugs. Life sentences for the murders would not be appropriate because he had come from a family that did not guide him well, had pleaded guilty, had come to terms with the enormity of his crimes, and was addicted to deleterious drugs.
His foul deeds would haunt him for the rest of his life.

Dankie dat jy hom geskiet het – weduwee
Die weduwee van ’n moordslagoffer het ’n man van Sundowner in Johannesburg gebel en hom huilend bedank omdat hy haar man se vermeende moordenaar doodgeskiet het.
“Sy het gesê sy wil net vir my dankie sê dat ek die man, wat haar man vermoor het, doodgeskiet het. Sy het gesê sy weet dit sal nie haar man terugbring nie, maar dit laat haar beter voel dat geregtigheid geskied het,” het mnr. Alan Madden (49) gister aan Beeld gesê.
Madden het eergister om 21:45 ná ’n struweling met drie rowers wat hom met sy tuiskoms naby sy motorhuis in ’n veiligheidskompleks ingewag het, geskiet.
Een van die rowers, ’n Mosambieker, is op die toneel dood.
Nog een se lyk is omstreeks 11:00 gisteroggend in ’n veld langs Hans Strijdomrylaan, naby Strijdompark, Randburg, gekry.
Die derde rower is steeds soek.
Supt. Louise Eksteen, bevelvoerder van ’n spesiale huisroof-taakspan in Honeydew, sê sy en insp. Michael Erasmus van dieselfde polisiekantoor ondersoek die moontlikheid dat Madden die koeël gevuur het wat die tweede rower, wat gister in Randburg gekry is, se dood veroorsaak het.
Madden vertel hy het eergisteraand teruggekeer van ’n besoek aan sy vriendin toe hy sy bakkie gaan bêre het.
Toe hy figure sien hardloop, het hy eers gedink dit is die bure se kinders.
“Ek het egter gesien die een het ’n vuurwapen. Toe ek weer sien, is hulle om my. Die een het ’n vuurwapen, die ander ’n mes en nog een ’n skroewedraaier gehad.
“Hulle het my arms gesprei en in die lug gehou.
“Hulle het my op my knieë gedwing, ’n vuurwapen teen my slaap gedruk en my deurgesoek. Toe een van hulle voor my kom buk om my skoenveter uit te ryg om my vas te maak, het ek besef nou moet ek iets doen of dit is die einde.”
Madden sê hy kon sy linkerbeen, met sy vuurwapen en -skede om sy enkel, reguit hou.
Toe die rower voor hom buk, het hy sy wapen uitgehaal en regop gekom.
“Toe hulle sien ek het die vuurwapen, het hulle dit probeer vat en het ek ’n hou teen die kop gevoel.”
Madden sê hy het geskiet.
“Ek het die magasyn op hulle leeggeskiet en begin skreeu.
“Die een het dood neergeval en die ander het bly hardloop.”
Sy bure het die nooddienste en die polisie ontbied.
Madden het gister aan Beeld gesê die weduwee van Northwold het hom gistermiddag gebel om hom te bedank.
Beeld het gister berig dat mnr. Justin Browne (31) van Northwold aan ’n steekwond in sy nek beswyk het nadat vier rowers, waarvan een met ’n skroewedraaier, een met ’n vuurwapen en twee met messe bewapen was, hom, sy vrou, Georgie, en hul twee kinders vasgebind en die huis geplunder het.
Eksteen het aan Beeld bevestig die taakspan ondersoek die moontlikheid dat dieselfde mans wat Madden oorval het, ook betrokke was by die voorval by die Browne-huis.

Leraar gooi grypdief in meer
Grypdiewe moet ligloop vir "Wolletjie".
Dr. Wollie Grobler, leraar van die Klipkerk in Bloemfontein, het 'n sakkeroller wat sy selfoon wou steel, by die Loch Logan-waterfront laat les opsê.
Grobler, wat gaan kyk het hoe lyk die nuwe inkopiesentrum, vertel: "Ek het middagete duskant News Cafe by die waterfront op my selfoon geloop en praat toe iemand verbykom en my selfoon uit my hand gryp. Daar was baie mense. Ek het agter hom aan gehardloop en hom aan sy kraag gegryp.
"My sel het op die grond geval en uitmekaar geval. 'n Ou oom wat agter my geloop het, het my sel opgetel en gesê hy sal die foon aanmekaarsit. Ek en die dief het begin stoei. Ek het my linkerhand onder sy been gesit en hom oor die rand in die water gegooi.
"Ek dink dis reg so, dis sy verdiende loon. Die dief het rondgespartel in die vuil water en vir my geskree: 'Help my, help my! Ek kan nie swem nie!'
"Maar ek het my sel gevat en geloop. Die mans wat die meer skoonmaak, het hom uitgehaal. Ek glo darem hy sou oukei wees, want die water was nie te diep op dié plek nie."
Grobler het vroeër vanjaar 'n hartomleidingsoperasie ondergaan.

Bejaarde joernalis op kleinhoewe vermoor vir kar, selfoon
’n Bejaarde vryskutjoernalis is die naweek op haar kleinhoewe naby Kliprivier vermoor – vermoedelik vir haar motor en selfoon.
’n Buurman, mnr. Danie Engelbrecht, het Sondagaand op die bebloede, naakte lyk van Muriel Bates (73) afgekom waar dit in die gang by haar slaapkamer gelê het.
Volgens Engelbrecht was daar drie gapende wonde aan Bates se kop, nek en maag.
Sy is “beslis” ook verkrag.
“Sy het net kaal daar gelê. En sy was dood. Sy is verkrag ook. Dit was duidelik,” het Engelbrecht gesê.
Bates, wat vryskutwerk vir die Johannesburg-tak van die South African Airforce Association (SAAFA) gedoen het, is vermoedelik reeds die vorige dag vermoor.
Sy het langer as 14 jaar alleen op haar kleinhoewe gewoon.
Engelbrecht het gesê sy tuinwerker, mnr. Phineas Mbele, het Sondag omstreeks 07:00 na Bates se huis gegaan om oudergewoonte ou koerante by haar te kry.
Mbele het minute later aan hom gesê Bates is nie tuis nie, want haar motor is weg.
Mbele het later die middag weer na Bates se huis gegaan, maar weer met leë hande teruggekom, het Engelbrecht vertek.
Engelbrecht het onraad vermoed en hy en Mbele is net voor 19:30 weer na Bates se huis.
“Ek het gesien die motor is weg. Ons het ingegaan en gesien die agterdeur is oopgebreek.”
Hulle het kort daarna op Bates se lyk afgekom.
Volgens kapt. William Mcera, woordvoerder van die polisie aan die Vaalrand, was daar ’n spies langs Bates se lyk.
Daar is volgens hom nie “ ’n druppel bloed” op die spiespunt nie.
Volgens me. Sarie Engelbrecht, Engelbrecht se vrou, was sy en Bates baie goeie vriende.
“Ek het my beste vriendin verloor. Dit is verskriklik. Sy het nie eens ’n vlieg skade gedoen nie.”
Sy het vertel Bates was ’n stil mens wat selde uitgegaan het.
“Ek en sy het gereeld gekuier en wanneer die telefoon af was omdat die drade gesteel is, het ons altyd vir mekaar briefies geskryf.”
Me. Carol van Rensburg, sekretaresse van die SAAFA, het gister gesê misdaad het Suid-Afrika op “ ’n tragiese pad gestuur”.
Sy en Bates het gewoonlik elke dag met mekaar gesels omdat sy (Bates) die SAAFA se nuusbrief behartig het.
Die afgelope week het hulle nie baie kontak gehad nie omdat die koperkabels van die telefoonlyne gesteel is.
Bates het verlede week ’n nuwe selfoon gekoop en nog nie eens “behoorlik geweet” hoe dit werk nie toe die rowers dit gesteel het, het Van Rensburg bygevoeg.
Engelbrecht het gesê hy het Bates se selfoon gebel en mans het dit beantwoord. “Ek het onmiddellik die polisie daarvan in kennis gestel.”
Mcera het gesê Bates se motor is Maandagaand naby Kimberley teruggekry.
Hy het versoek dat enig-iemand wat kan help met die ondersoek ’n SMS stuur na 32211 of 0 10111 bel.
Bates word deur twee stiefkinders oorleef.

Egpaar loof polisie ná inbraak
JAGERSFONTEIN. – In ’n tyd waarin misdaad seëvier en die Suid-Afrikaanse Polisiediens (SAPD) in moeilike omstandighede werk en dikwels kritiek ontvang, het ’n egpaar van Jagersfontein lof vir die polisie.
Mnr. Richard en mev. Annette Greybe van Weskloofstraat was die slagoffers van ’n inbreker wat onder meer twee verkykers, skoene, messe en klere gesteel het.
“Dit het gebeur terwyl ons Sondag in die kerk was. Meer as R9 000 se goed is gesteel.”
Sowat twee uur nadat die inbraak by die polisie aangemeld is, is die vermeende dief vasgetrek en al die gesteelde goed teruggekry.
“Ons het die grootste waardering vir die manier waarop die inbraak hanteer is. Die polisie het hulle goed van hul taak gekwyt,” het mev. Greybe gesê. “Ons wil dankie sê vir kaptein Masita en haar span by die Jagersfontein-polisiekantoor. Die polisie ontvang deesdae nie meer die erkenning wat hulle verdien nie en ons het dit goedgedink om hulle te bedank.”
Die beskuldigde, mnr. J.P. Steyn, het vroeër glo uit die Fauresmith-tronk ontsnap.
Die gesteelde goedere is na bewering in Steyn se besit gekry.
Hy het reeds op aanklagte van huisbraak en diefstal in die hof op Jagersfontein verskyn. Vandeesweek het hy ook op Fauresmith in die hof verskyn op aanklagte van ontsnapping en die besit van gesteelde goedere.

Seun (15) ontken hy het Luckhoff-plaasvrou vermoor
HY het in die maanlig op ’n oefenfiets sit en trap in die agterste kamer om sy bene los te maak as hulle moet weghardloop, het die 15-jarige seun wat op die moord op mev. Emmerentia Botha (64) teregstaan, gister getuig.
Die seun van Luckhoff staan in die Vrystaatse hooggeregshof voor regter A. Kruger tereg op aanklagte van huisbraak met die opset om te roof, roof met verswarende omstandighede, verkragting en moord.
Hy ontken al die bewerings teen hom.
Hy beweer mnr. Willem Vis (23), wat verlede week tot altesaam 37 jaar plus lewenslange tronkstraf op dieselfde aanklagte gevonnis is, was die een wat ingebreek, die vrou verkrag en haar gewurg het.
“Ek het net staan en kyk,” het hy gesê.
Hy het erken dat hy sowat ’n maand voor die moord by Botha ingebreek het.
Hy het gesê Vis het hom juis die Maandag voor die moord gekry nadat hy in die hof was weens die huisbraak by Botha se huis.
Die seun sê Vis is “woes” en hy is bang vir hom.
Hy sê Vis het hom gedreig en gesê as hy probeer weghardloop, gaan hy hom doodmaak.
Hy sê dit was ’n vriend van hom wat voorheen saam met hom op Skuilhoek was, wat Vis vertel het dat daar geld in die plaashuis is. Sy vriend het geweier om saam met Vis Skuilhoek toe te gaan.
Volgens die seun wou hy die heeltyd huis toe gaan, maar het Vis hom gedwing om saam met hom te gaan.
Hy het Vis probeer keer om Botha te wurg en haar te verkrag.
“Hy sê my ek ga’ hom nie sê nie.”
Regter A. Kruger sal waarskynlik vandag uitspraak lewer.
Adv. Germa Wright tree in opdrag van die regshulpraad vir die seun op. Adv. Berenice Claassens kla aan.

Johannesburg - The widow of a murdered Johannesburg man was in tears when she called the man who allegedly killed her husband's murderer, to thank him.
"She said she wanted to thank me for killing the man who had murdered her husband. She said she knew it wouldn't bring her husband back, but it made her feel better to know that justice was done," said Alan Madden, 49, on Wednesday.
Madden shot three robbers who waited for him near his garage in a security complex at about 21:45 on Tuesday.
One of the robbers, a Mozambican citizen, died at the scene.
'It would be the end'
Another one's body was found at about 11:00 on Wednesday morning in a field next to Hans Strijdom Drive near Strijdom Park, Randburg.
The third robber was still at large.
Superintendent Louise Eksteen, commander of a special housebreaking task team in Honeydew, said she and colleague inspector Michael Erasmus were investigation the possibility that Madden might have fired the bullet that killed the second robber, whose body was found in Randburg on Wednesday.
Madden said he was returning home after a visit to his girlfriend and wanted to put away his bakkie.
He saw running figures, but at first thought they were the neighbour's children.
"I noticed that one had a gun. The next moment they had surrounded me. One was armed with a gun, another one with a knife and the third with a screwdriver.
He shot and screamed
"They spread my arms and held them above my head.
"They forced me on my knees, put the gun to my head and searched me. When one of them crouched down to untie a shoelace with which to tie me up, I realised I had to act or it would be the end."
Madden said he managed to keep his left leg straight as he had his gun in its holster concealed near his ankle.
When the robber crouched down in front of him, he took out his gun and stood up.
"When they saw I had a gun, they tried to take it and I felt a blow against my head.
"I pulled the trigger and emptied the magazine on them while I screamed."
"One of them fell down dead and the others kept running."
The neighbours called the emergency services and police.
According to Madden the widow from Northworld phoned him on Wednesday afternoon to thank him.
Beeld reported on Wednesday that Justin Browne, 31, from Northwold had died of a stab wound to his neck after four robbers, one of them armed with a screwdriver, another with a firearm and two armed with knives, overpowered him and his wife Georgie and their two children before plundering their home.
Eksteen confirmed that the task team was investigating the possibility that the same men who had overpowered Madden had also been involved in the incident at the Browne house.
