VREDENDAL - The Western Cape High Court, sitting in Vredendal, has sentenced 58-year-old train driver Daniel Smit to life in prison.

In 2022, Smit kidnapped, murdered, and dismembered 13-year-old Jerobejin van Wyk after accusing him of stealing a mango from his property.

During the sentencing, Judge Haley Slingers told the court that Smit meant to kill the teen, offering him food before breaking his neck and dismembering the body.
