Sheldean se lyk gevind
Koerantknipsels van die Leigh Matthews-saak het gisteraand daartoe gelei dat Sheldean Human se lykie gevind is.
Die oorskot van Sheldean (7) van Pretoria Tuine is skaars 4,4 km van haar huis in ’n stormwaterdrein gevind.
Die drein is in Pretoria-Wes tussen die varsproduktemark en die Tshwane-Universiteit van Tegnologie (TUT).
Mnr. Andrew Jordaan (25), wat vroeër in hegtenis geneem en reeds op aanklag van menseroof in die hof verskyn het, het volgens kapt. Julia Claassen, polisiewoordvoerder, erken hy het Sheldean vermoor.
Hy het vroeër skuld op die menseroof-klag ontken.
Sy borgtogaansoek is ook nog nie afgehandel nie.
Gister se gru-vonds volg nadat hy intensief deur die baasspeurder supt. Piet Byleveld ondervra is.
Byleveld het die opspraakwekkende moord op Matthews in 2004 opgelos.
Volgens kapt. Eugene Opperman, polisiewoordvoerder, is daar koerantknipsels van die Matthews-saak tussen Jordaan se besittings gevind nadat hy in hegtenis geneem is. Byleveld is daarom by die saak betrek en hy het hom gisteroggend by die ondersoekspan aangesluit.
Jordaan het ná die ondervraging, omstreeks 18:00, ’n inspeksiegat in ’n stormwatersloot aan die polisie gaan uitwys – sowat 3,5 km van die Hercules-polisiekantoor.
Die polisie het reeds vroeër in dié omgewing gesoek.
Die gat was egter leeg, omdat water die lyk weggespoel het.
Dit is wel na ’n verdere soektog opgespoor.
Die oorsaak van Sheldean se dood, asook hoe lank sy daar gelê het, sal eers tydens nadoodse ondersoeke vasgestel kan word.
Sheldean het op 18 Februarie omstreeks 18:30 voor haar huis verdwyn nadat sy en ’n maatjie saam met Jordaan in ’n parkie gaan speel het.
Mev. Elize Human, haar ma, het gistermiddag laat gehoor haar blondekop dogtertjie leef nie meer nie, berig Liela Magnus.
Lede van die ondersoekspan het, nadat hulle haar lykie gekry het, Human by haar huis in Erneststraat gaan haal.
Hulle het haar in die tydelike beheerkamer by die Hercules-polisiekantoor die slegte nuus vertel.
Sy het histeries geraak en in Sanniestraat afgehardloop.
Polisielede moes haar by ’n polisiemotor intel.
Sy is in ’n hospitaal opgeneem.

Heila mag nog nie weet haar maatjie is dood nie
“Ons het só gehoop en gebid . . . in ons harte het sy nog geleef.”
Dít was gisteraand die hartverskeurende reaksie van ’n inwoner van Pretoria Tuine toe sy hoor Sheldean Human (7) se lyk is gevind.
Lede van die gemeenskap het mekaar omhels en getroos buite die tydelike beheerkamer by die Hercules-polisiekantoor.
“Gee daai f***er vir ons, net vir vyf minute,” was een van die vroue se reaksie.
Klein groepies mense het mekaar ondersteun en verdwaas die nuus ingeneem. Ander het vir Sheldean, haar ma, Elize, en pa, Wikus, gebid.
Me. Annemarie Grobler het gesê sy gaan nie nou al vir haar dogtertjie, Heila, sê haar maatjie is dood nie. Sheldean en Heila het op die Sondagmiddag voor haar verdwyning in ’n parkie gaan speel.
“Ek gaan wag om vir haar te sê as ek dink die tyd is reg.
“Dit is die grootste skok,” het Grobler gesê.
Mnr. Andrew Jordaan, wat van menseroof aangekla is ná Sheldean se verdwyning, is Heila se peetpa en jare lange vriend van Grobler.
Mnr. Henry D’Almeida, die private speurder wat ook aan die soektog deelgeneem het, het gesê hy is nie ’n mens wat maklik emosie wys nie. “Maar iets soos hierdie breek ’n mens. Ons het nog vandag gepraat dat sy lewe. Ons het geglo dat sy lewe.”

Sheldean 'had hell on earth'
18/03/2007 21:35 - (SA)
Pretoria - Sheldean Human, abducted and murdered on February 18, is in a better place because her seven years on earth were pure hell, says her mother, Elize.
Elize Human says she's consumed with guilt at the poverty, pain and suffering that her blonde child had to endure for so long, before she was abducted and murdered.
"She'd endured more in her seven years than any child her age. What she went through was not fit for a child."
Sheldean fainted from hunger at school barely a week before she disappeared.
Her mother knew about it. "I explained to the school there was too little for her (to eat). They put her on the food parcels."
The frail girl received food at home about three times a week. Her mother chokes back the tears and says she'd "rather not" talk about it.
"If I could turn back the clock, I'd like to give her a better home - to care for her better. Something tells me I've failed. I feel so guilty."
Regarding rumours that, if she had been found alive, the welfare department was considering taking Sheldean away from Elize, the response is "can't comment on that".
Can't have another child
Last October, she and Sheldean had to move out of their one-bedroom flat in Mountain View to the commune, a suburban house that already was home to 39 other people.
Sheldean last saw her father on December 22.
"It's a sensitive matter," says Elize, without expanding.
"I wish I could just run away from it all," says Human.
She recalls that she and her "porcelain doll" combed the streets together that morning, in search of another place to stay.

The last time anyone saw seven-year-old Sheldean Human alive, her arms were wrapped around the neck of her alleged killer as she playfully swatted his hat off his head.
This was the evidence on Tuesday in the Pretoria High Court, where 25-year-old Andrew Jordaan is on trial for raping and killing her.
A clean-shaven, relaxed-looking Jordaan pleaded not guilty to six charges, including Sheldean's rape and murder on February 18, 2007.
Last week, two more charges were added to the indictment. They pertain to Sheldean's 7-year-old friend.
The state claims Jordaan raped and indecently assaulted the child over a period of seven months.
While a slightly smiling Jordaan has chosen not to disclose his defence, the state claims he told several witnesses that he took Sheldean and her friend to a park that Sunday afternoon.
He then claimed that after he took them back to the commune where they lived in Pretoria Gardens, Sheldean refused to leave.
Madeleine Herbst, who lived in a flat on the same premises in Vom Hagen Street where Jordaan lived with his parents, said he told her that Sheldean had followed him.
"He said she had told him she did not want to stay there, as she did not get food at her home," said Herbst.
She told the court that when she saw Jordaan that night, he seemed very nervous.
He was shaking and was clad only in black trousers.
His chest was bare.
Another witness said Jordaan had told her how Sheldean had pleaded with him to come back the next day to take her to the park.
Jordaan apparently said he could not visit her the next day, but promised to return the day after.
Maria de Beer, who lived with her family in the same commune which Sheldean shared with her mother, Elize Human, testified that she was on her way to a shop late in the afternoon when she noticed Sheldean and Jordaan.
"Andrew sat on his haunches on the pavement and Sheldean stood behind him.
"She was hanging over him, with her arms around his neck. She was playing with him and she playfully hit his hat off his head."
De Beer said that when she returned from the shop they were still there. "I heard him tell her she was very forward for her age. I understood this to mean that she is horny (jags). It definitely had a sexual connotation. I was very shocked and upset about this as I could see Andrew was serious."
De Beer said she heard later that evening that Sheldean was missing.
Sheldean's mother, sporting her daughter's picture on her T-shirt, told the court that she had given her child permission to go to the nearby park with her friend.
Human briefly saw her daughter in the commune's yard at about 6pm that evening, but continued visiting a friend in the commune until 7pm.
When she returned to her room, she couldn't find Sheldean.
She eventually went to the police and reported her missing.
Human said when she got home she was told that Sheldean had been seen with Jordaan, who she didn't know.
They gave her Jordaan's address and she went to his home.
Herbst fetched Jordaan from his bedroom and Human told him that her daughter was missing.
Jordaan said this was impossible as he had left her at her home.
Police searched for the missing child for two weeks. Human said that nine days after she disappeared, police showed her a pink T-shirt and pink panties which she identified as those Sheldean wore that Sunday.
Sheldean's badly decomposed body was eventually found on March 5 last year in a ditch near a Pretoria market.
The state claims Jordaan raped her before strangling her and throwing her body down a manhole.
For two weeks Jordaan denied knowing where the body was, before allegedly pointing out to police where he had dumped her body.
The court also heard on Tuesday how police discovered an array of pictures in Jordaan's room, including some of the little girl who was allegedly raped as well as pictures of naked women, depicting their genitals.
The alleged rape victim was expected to take the stand on Wednesday.

Sheldean gaan na sy huis ‘want sy kry nie kos tuis’
Die vermoorde Sheldean Human (7) wou glo saam met haar beweerde moordenaar en verkragter na sy huis gaan omdat sy nie kos by haar ouerhuis gekry het nie.
Dít blyk uit getuienis wat gister in die Pretoriase hooggeregshof gelewer is in die verhoor van mnr. Andrew Jordaan (25), ’n koerantafleweraar.
Jordaan het voor waarnemende regter Chris Eksteen en ’n assessor ontken dat hy Sheldean Sondag 18 Februarie verlede jaar ontvoer, verkrag en vermoor het.
Hy ontken ook dat hy Sheldean se sewejarige maatjie van Junie 2006 tot Februarie 2007 verkrag en onsedelik aangerand het.
Jordaan, wat by sy ouers in Vom Hagenstraat, Pretoria-Wes, gewoon het, ontken ook skuld op aanklag van die besit van dagga.
Sheldean se ontbinde lyk is meer as twee weke ná haar verdwyning in ’n stormwatersloot agter die Pretoria-varsproduktemark gekry.
Die staat beweer Jordaan het haar na ’n stuk veld sowat 4 km van haar ouerhuis geneem, verkrag, verwurg en haar lyk in ’n mangat, wat toegang gee tot die sloot, gegooi.
Mev. Elize Human, Sheldean se ma, het getuig haar gesin het in Februarie verlede jaar in ’n kommune in Erneststraat, Pretoria Tuine, gewoon.
Sheldean en haar maatjie het dié Sondagmiddag gevra om na ’n parkie te gaan. Volgens Human het sy Sheldean omstreeks 18:00 nog in die kommune gesien. Toe sy omstreeks 19:00 na haar gesoek het, kon sy haar nie kry nie.
Ná sy by die polisiekantoor was, het ’n vrou van die kommune “kom sê hulle weet waar bly Andrew Jordaan”.
Human het getuig mense het gesê “daar is ’n oom betrokke”.
Volgens Human is sy saam met dié vrou na Jordaan se huis. “Ek het gesê dis my kind en sy is weg. Hy (Jordaan) het gesê dis onmoontlik, hy het haar by die huis gelos.”
Mev. Madelein Herbst het getuig sy woon in ’n woonstel op die erf waar Jordaan gewoon het.
Jordaan het dié Sondag om 19:25 by haar aangeklop. “Hy het baie gebewe. Hy was nie homself nie.”
Jordaan het toe aan haar gesê hy het ’n polisieman “gebliksem” nadat die polisie hom vir dwelms deurgesoek en hom geklap het.
Nadat die twee vroue opgedaag het op soek na Sheldean, het sy Jordaan oor Sheldean gevra.
“Hy het gesê Sheldean het agter hom aangeloop, want sy wil nie daar bly nie.”
Herbst het getuig volgens Jordaan het Sheldean glo gesê sy kry nie kos by die huis nie. “Hy het vir haar gesê sy moet huis toe gaan. Sy wou nie huis toe gaan nie, want sy kry nie kos nie.”
Mev. Maria Jacoba de Beer, wat ook in die kommune gewoon het, het getuig sy het Jordaan en Sheldean dié Sondag omstreeks 18:00 buite die kommune op die sypaadjie gesien.
Jordaan het op sy hurke gesit.
Sheldean het van agter om hom “gehang” en met hom “gespeel”.
Jordaan het aan Sheldean gesê: “Jy is orig vir jou ouderdom.”
Volgens De Beer het Jordaan hiermee bedoel Sheldean was “jags”. “Dis die manier hoe hy dit vir haar gesê het. Hy het dit ernstig vir haar gesê.”

He threatened me, girl claims
Pretoria - A girl allegedly molested by Andrew Jordaan, the man accused of murdering seven-year-old Sheldean Human, said he threatened to kill her if she told anyone about the abuse.
Counsel for Jordaan, who has pleaded not guilty to six charges including murder and rape, revealed the girl's claim during cross-examination of a state witness in the Pretoria High Court on Wednesday.
The thin, dark-haired girl on Wednesday testified behind closed doors through an intermediary - after the court heard that evidence in an open court could further harm her emotionally and influence the accuracy of her testimony.
The girl was only seven-years-old when Jordaan allegedly began indecently assaulting, sodomising and raping her.
She is also a vital witness in the State's case against Jordaan in connection with the murder of her friend Sheldean.
On Tuesday during cross-examination, a State witness revealed that the girl had not only testified about several instances of sexual abuse, but had also told the court she did not tell her mother about it because Jordaan had threatened to kill her.
She also did not tell her mother about the "ugly things" because she was scared her father would hit Jordaan, a family friend, and go to jail.
A police child abuse expert, Captain L'Marie Strauss, said she was asked to take a statement from a child witness in the Sheldean murder case, because of her expertise in working with children.
With Sheldean on day she died
The girl had at first not said anything about her alleged sexual abuse, but the almost jealous way in which she talked about Jordaan's friendship with Sheldean made Strauss suspect that the witness might have been sexually abused.
The girl, who was with Sheldean on the day of her death, told Strauss she knew something was wrong and that she was sure Andrew (Jordaan) was going to take Sheldean to his room and his bed, because she could see he liked looking at her private parts.
The girl for the first time revealed her own alleged sexual abuse when Strauss went to interview her a year later, shortly before the start of the trial. This resulted in additional charges being added against Jordaan.
The girl's mother, who said Jordaan was a good friend, testified that she had never asked her child about the alleged sexual abuse, even after police had told her about it, because she knew "nothing was wrong".
She claimed to have an excellent relationship with her daughter and that the child did "very well" at school.
Intense need for a hug
Strauss, however, revealed a quite different picture of a little girl who had a negative and strained relationship with her mother; felt that her emotional and physical needs were not being taken care of; and did not feel safe enough to talk to her mother about her problems.
During an interview the girl identified with a child who was hungry, sick and a victim, and expressed an intense need for love, hugs and not being hungry all the time.
Strauss said the child specifically asked her not to tell her mother about the sexual abuse and not to have her mother present in court when she testified.

Kentucky vir Sheldean
Sheldean Human se laaste ete was Kentucky Fried Chicken wat haar vermeende moordenaar glo vir haar en haar maatjie gekoop het.
En sonder dié man se hulp sou die polisie gesukkel het om haar ontbinde en halfkaal lykie in ’n erg beboste gebied te kry.
Dít het gister in die Pretoriase hooggeregshof aan die lig gekom toe die bekende baasspeurder, dir. Piet Byleveld, in mnr. Andrew Jordaan (25) se verhoor getuig het.
Jordaan, van Pretoria-Wes, het Sheldean na bewering op 18 Februarie verlede jaar ontvoer, verkrag en vermoor.
Haar lyk is meer as twee weke ná haar verdwyning in ’n stormwatersloot agter die Pretoria-varsproduktemark gekry.
Die staat beweer Jordaan het haar in ’n stuk veld naby haar ouerhuis in Pretoria Tuine verwurg en haar lyk in ’n mangat, wat toegang gee tot die sloot, gegooi.
Byleveld het getuig hy het op 28 Februarie 2007 by die ondersoek betrokke geraak. Jordaan was toe in hegtenis.
Die polisie het foto’s van hom (Byleveld), wat geneem is toe hy die Leigh Matthews-moord ondersoek het, in Jordaan se kamer gekry.
Byleveld het getuig hy het toe ’n onderhoud met Jordaan gevoer. Jordaan het toe gesê hy het Sheldean en haar maatjie op 18 Februarie na ’n parkie vergesel. Hy het hulle op die rondomtalie en die swaaie gestoot.
Volgens Byleveld het hy Jordaan oor die kinders se klere uitgevra. “Tot my verbasing het hy bygevoeg dat sy (Sheldean) ’n pienk broekie aangehad het.”
Jordaan het gesê hy het Kentucky-hoender vir die kinders gekoop en hulle huis toe geneem.
Sheldean het hom “gesmeek” om saam met hom te gaan omdat sy nie kos by die huis kry nie. Sy het ’n ent saamgestap en toe is hulle uitmekaar.
Jordaan het oor die foto’s van hom (Byleveld) gesê “dat hy my as sy held beskou omdat ek die Matthews-saak opgelos het. Hy het bygevoeg hy wil graag vir my die waarheid vertel”.
“Nadat hy sekere erkennings en mededelings oor die pleging van die misdryf gemaak het, het ek gevra of hy bereid sal wees om die toneel of tonele uit te wys. Hy het ingestem.”
Kapt. Ignatius Michael van Aardt het die uitwysing waargeneem. Van Aardt sou hom bel sodra iets uitgewys word, het Byleveld getuig.
Hy het later by Van Aardt aangesluit. Op die toneel het die skerp reuk van menslike oorskot van ’n mangat gekom. ’n Kind se lyk is in ’n waterstroompie gekry.
Sy het geen broekie, hemp of skoene aangehad nie.
“In die lig van die vonds en die beskuldigde se mededelings, het ek sterk rede gehad om te vermoed dat dit Sheldean se lyk was.”
Haar lyk was só ontbind dat haar gesig nie uitgeken kon word nie. ’n Familielid het later haar denimrompie uitgeken.
Byleveld het getuig die lyk sou nie “in die gewone loop van sake” maklik gekry word nie.
“Hy (Jordaan) gee ’n weergawe wat die saak tot ’n einde bring. Dit is hoekom dit vandag in die hof is.”
