Provincial Commissioner, Lieutenant General Liziwe Ntshinga has welcomed the life sentence handed down by the Grahamstown High Court to an accused who murdered a two year old boy and assaulted the child’s mother.
During the evening of 02 February 2019, Jan Roman (25) went to the residence of his girlfriend in Loop Street, Pearston and grabbed the 2-year-old child from her after assaulting her.
Police assistance was requested and upon arrival, it was established that Roman stabbed the baby in the upper body.
The toddler succumbed to his injuries.
A case of murder was under investigation by SAPS Pearston detectives.
Roman was arrested immediately and he remained in custody until the finalisation of the case.
Lt Gen Ntshinga commended the investigating officer and the prosecuting authority for ensuring the maximum sentence on the accused. “Children are innocent and therefore have a right to be protected from all harm and danger. The home is supposed to be their first line of protection however it is sad that many children fall victims to the very persons that were supposed to be their protector,’ added Lt Gen Ntshinga.
