Satanic ritual four back in court

Four accused youths in the murder of teenage girl, Kirsty Theologo is continuing in the South Gauteng High Court sitting at the Palm Ridge Magistrates Court nearly two years later.

PALM RIDGE – 18 year-old Theologo was brutally murdered by her friends in an alleged satanic ritual which the murder accused youngsters claim was only supposed to be a ‘soul-selling’ ritual.

At a hearing in May, one of the accused reportedly confessed to having told the group that if they used a prayer to sell their souls to the devil, they would be granted all their wishes.

Kirsty Theologo and then 14 year-old Bronwyn Grammer were doused with petrol on a Linmeyer Koppie, where the ritual was performed by the teens who claimed to have been possessed by evil spirits. Theologo was allegedly drugged and strangled twice before both girls were tied up and thereafter, set alight. Kirsty later died in hospital.

Murder accused Harvey Isha, Courtney Daniels, Lindon Wagner and Robin Harwood, are still standing trial for the murder.

On October 6, Daniels (17) was said to be next to take the stand although she still denies being involved in the pre-meditation process until the night of the incident. However, according to eNCA the testimony of two state witnesses and her co-accused Robin Harwood placed her right at the planning phases of the murder.

On May 3, it was reported on the looklocal.co.za website that Isha in a statement read to the court, claimed he was present when Theologo and her friend were set alight in the apparent satanic ritual.

He also explained that he saw Theologo and her friend being tied up, doused with petrol, and set alight, and that when he tried to intervene, he was told to shut up as he knew too much.

Then 14 year-old Bronwyn Grammer reportedly had not been aware of the accused’s plans to kill Kirsty, after a witness testified in May that Grammer wasn’t warned.

Jeremy King (20) and Lester Moody have already pleaded guilty and are serving a 17 year sentence in jail, with five years suspended.
