Theunis Olivier was sentenced to a life in prison on Wednesday the 8th of August 2007. The ruling was made by Judge Essa Moosa at the Cape High Court.
Steven Siebert was kidnapped, molested and murdered by Theunis Olivier in Plettenbergbay in December 2005. This disgusting crime committed by Theunis Olivier rocked the community of Plettenbergbay. I was working in a bookshop in Plettenbergbay over that December holiday because I am from Plettenbergbay and often work there during the holidays. I remember stopping at a robot on my way to work on the day before Christmas and seeing posters and flyers being handed out that had the picture of six year old Stevens’s innocent face on them.
This crime had happened to him the day before Christmas! I remember thinking that somebody who could do such a despicable crime on the day before Christmas must be really sick. The rumours that spread around town were horrendous, ranging from stories that Steven had been kidnapped and used as an offering for satanistic ritual to rumours that he had been found with the numbers 666 carved into his body.
I remember that we had to take all of the books that we had on wicca and witchcraft in that section of the bookshop off our shelves because of the rumours.
Everybody that I spoke to about what had happened to Steven said how sad it must have been for his family on Christmas day when all of Stevens presents lay untouched.
It is also sad to think that his family is still experiencing so much pain today and that their Christmas’s will forever be tainted by Stevens’s murder.
I have been following the progression of this case since it happened because it is so scary that something like this happened in my hometown. So many innocent people could have walked past Theunis Olivier in the shop or on the street and obviously not suspected a thing about this “pathological liar” as he was called by Judge Moosa because of his claims that he had multiple personalities that controlled him and his criminal activity!
A life in prison for Theunis Olivier almost seems like to light a sentence for this man who is a disgrace to humanity. The fact that Theunis Olivier has gotten away with similar crimes in South Africa and Zimbabwe before is terrible and simply creates a situation where our already failing law system seems even worse when it comes to certain crimes and getting criminals off our streets.
