WAAR'S MY KIND?

FOR many in Saldanha Bay, the sentencing of Kelly Smith, Jacquen “Boeta” Appollis and Steveno van Rhyn brought a sense of justice but not closure.

- 

The trio were given life behind bars by Judge Nathan Erasmus yesterday after they were convicted of selling Kelly’s daughter Joshlin.

Resident Chane Biggs, who has been actively involved in the case, said: “After the sentencing, I felt overwhelmed but happy with the outcome.

“It’s still heartbreaking because we don’t know where Joshlin is, but we'll never give up.

“By faith, we're going to find her. I agree with what the judge said, they’ve shown no remorse since the day she went missing.”
