Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>The “Gordonia Butcher” from Springbok in the Northern Cape was sentenced to 18 years in prison for the attempted murder of his sister on Friday.<\/p>\n

The Springbok Regional Court sentenced Devon Ovies, 33, for stabbing his sister multiple times during an altercation.<\/p>\n

Police spokesperson Lieutenant Colonel Sergio Kock said Ovies was declared a state patient after he brutally murdered a colleague, Katrina Jagers, 50, at the living quarters of the hospital in Upington in 2015.<\/p>\n

“On 20 December 2021, he received leave from the mental institution in Kimberley and was booked out under the supervision of his 39-year-old sister who resides in Concordia in Springbok,” Kock added.<\/p>\n

Police said on 6 January 2022 at 21:00 Ovies and his sister had an altercation concerning his house-arrest.<\/p>\n

He then stabbed her 15 times in front of her two toddlers.<\/p>\n

“He [then] fled in her vehicle from her house in Concordia but was arrested 30 minutes later in Okiep,” Kock added.<\/p>\n

Police said Ovies was sentenced to 14 years for attempted murder and four years for theft of the motor vehicle. The sentences will run concurrently.<\/p>\n
