Krugersdrop Killers: Zak Valentine was brainwashed into going on 'this killing spree' - defence
15 August 2019
The legal representative of convicted Krugersdorp killer Zak Valentine has argued that he was brainwashed and manipulated into doing things he would have never done before meeting Cecilia Steyn.
Valentine, Steyn and Marcel Steyn appeared in the Gauteng High Court in Johannesburg, for day three of their pre-sentencing proceedings.
Steyn, Valentine and Marcel Steyn were found guilty of 32 counts between them, including murder, fraud, racketeering and robbery.
The three convicted killers formed part of a group called Electus per Deus (Chosen by God) who murdered 11 people between 2012 and 2016.
