Until this day, the 38-year-old Cecilia maintained that she is innocent and a victim in this highly publicised case. Steyn feels that the media has sensationalised the case and allegedly explained that it was as if the media had been granted power to destroy people without knowing anything about them.
She told the social worker that the Judge should call upon God to come testify if the court is not content with her version of events.
Cecilia in her usual black jacket and checkered shirt, with her signature thinning spiky hair, stared straight ahead as Judge Francis sentenced her to 13 life sentences, to run concurrently with 152 years (also to run concurrently) for the other counts against her, in prison.
The youngest of the remaining three accused, Marcel Steyn heard her fate next as D-Day has dawned for these accused.
