Slain Daniel Jamneck was killed during a sleep over at his friends house.
In a harrowing case that has sent shockwaves through Cape Town, a man has been sentenced to two life terms by the Western Cape High Court for the heinous rape and murder of eight-year-old Daniel Jamneck.
Daniel was raped and strangled to death on June 15, 2023, while attending a sleepover at a friend’s flat in Peerless Park North in Kraaifontein.
The friend, who was sleeping in the same room on a bunk bed, slept soundly as his father entered the room and raped, bit, and strangled Daniel to death.
The 49-year-old man cannot be identified to protect the identity of his son, who was a crucial witness during proceedings.
