PE toddler's killers found guilty


Port Elizabeth gangsters, Marcus Malgas and Gregory Van Staden, were found guilty of 11 charges which include murder of Caydene Ruiters on Monday.

They were also found guilty of attempted murder and unlawful possession of firearm and ammunition.

On Friday a total of seven witnesses placed the two men at the scene where the two-year-old girl was shot and killed after they allegedly recklessly fired shots towards a group of people.

After the judgement was heard state advocate Jason Thysse asked the presiding Judge Onika Van Papendorp that previous convinctions of the two men be considered when mulling over the sentencing of the two men.

Sentencing will be handed down on Tuesday at 10;30 am.

Caydene's mother Davedine Ruiters spoke to Algoa FM outside the court and said that she would like to thank everyone involved in the case.

She encouraged everyone else who witnessed gang related incidents to come forward and speak out.
