Jasmin Pretorius' killer gets 2 life sentences
Jasmine Pretorius
NAITONAL NEWS - Sarel du Toit has been handed a double life sentence for the rape and murder of four-year-old Jasmin Pretorius.

Du Toit confessed to strangling and raping his niece and hiding her body under his bed at the child's father's Brakpan apartment in December 2013.

The two life sentences will run concurrently.
 
The High Court in Pretoria this week heard that du Toit told a social worker earlier this year that he had not raped his niece, but only played with her.

But despite this, he pleaded guilty to a rape and murder charge this week.
