Child killer Mortimer Saunders has been handed a double life sentence in the Western Cape High Court for the rape and murder of 3-year-old Courtney Pieters.
Saunders was convicted in November of the rape and murder of Courtney.
The self-confessed child killer was arrested in May 2017 after the body of Pieters was found in Epping Industria, nine days after she was reported missing from her Elsies River home in Cape Town.
Saunders denied raping the girl before she died, but admitted to necrophilia.
He also claimed that she died after he fed her ant poison because she had been disturbing him at the house he shared with her and her family. ANA
