The only way to escape from the murderous Krugersdorp enterprise, was to fake one's death and go into hiding. That was how a prosecutor portrayed the cult-like 'Krugersdorp Killers' yesterday during closing arguments in the trial featuring religion, satanism and betrayal, reports TimesLIVE. Prosecutor Gerrit Roberts SC told the Gauteng High Court (Johannesburg) the mastermind behind the group, Cecilia Steyn, was a 'witch' and argued that everything in the case revolved around her. 'At the top there was the mastermind, Cecilia, who received all the money and gave all the instructions. She made sure that she never dirtied her hands,' he said. 'She was aware of each criminal activity and was fully briefed afterwards,' he added. Cecilia Steyn, Zak Valentine and Marcel Steyn have pleaded not guilty to 32 counts, including murder, robbery with aggravating circumstances, fraud and intimidation. Le Roux Steyn entered into a plea bargain with the state in 2018. Marinda Steyn has already been sentenced to 11 life terms. They were all part of the Electus Per Deus group, who believed they were 'chosen by God'. The group allegedly killed 11 people between 2012 and 2016. Roberts further argued that Marinda was Cecilia's 'second-in-charge' and Marcel and her brother Le Roux the foot soldiers. Judge Ellen Francis asked Roberts if someone could still be held accountable and found guilty if they had put money into the enterprise knowing it was not for a good cause. He agreed. He submitted that the state had proved all of the charges according to the indictment and described it as a case of deceit and lies. Roberts said the only way to 'get out' of the enterprise was to fake one's death and go into hiding.
