Eleven murders over a period of four years sent shock waves through the Krugersdorp community and made headlines nationwide. The mastermind is Cecilia Steyn, leader of an obscure cult, Electus per Deus.
The murderers are intelligent, ordinary people – including a teacher and mother, and actuary, and a teenager who obtained six distinctions while participating in a killing spree. Their victims merely kept appointments, not knowing that these appointments were in fact with their killers.
Who is Cecilia Steyn? How did she get six people to commit murder and how did religion contribute to all of this?
