Following an almost three-month-long trial, presiding Judge Nathan Erasmus has just ruled that Racquel ‘Kelly’ Smith, her boyfriend Jacquen ‘Boeta’ Appollis and their friend Steveno ‘Steffie’ van Rhyn are guilty of kidnapping and trafficking little Joshlin Smith.
Erasmus delivered the judgment on Friday, 2 May, at the White City Multipurpose Centre in Diazville, where the high-profile kidnapping trial was taking place.
The court heard that the three accused will remain in custody ahead of sentencing proceedings, which are set to take place at a later stage.
