The lawyer of the man who allegedly butchered a 13-year-old boy in Klawer revealed that he confessed to killing four people in the past.
According to Santie Human, attorney of Danie Smit, he has confessed to killing four people in the past in Sea Point. According to Human her client got involved in the occult at 13 and she claims that he has “spiritual problems”, not a mental illness.
“He felt he belonged – part of it. Smit was 19 when an occult group from Sea Point showed him how to kill. He learned how to kill with very little blood spilled, to incinerate the body and to throw any remains in the sea,” she said.
A bare-footed Smit made his first court appearance in the Klawer Magistrate’s Court on Monday morning.
Smit allegedly murdered and butchered a 13-year-old Jerobiojin van Wyk.
It is believed Van Wyk and his friend stole mangoes from the garden of Smith. He then chased the boys with his bakkie and ran over Van Wyk. Smit allegedly threw the body of Van Wyk on his bakkie. The other boy managed to get away.
Sources reportedly said that Smit then hacked the body of Van Wyk into several parts before he burned the body parts in an attempt to dispose of the body.
The remaining body parts were thrown down the drain at his house.
Smit was remanded in police custody and will appear in court on 26 April 2022. The case was postponed for further investigation.
