Die moordbeskuldigde Jerome Amerika (23) is vanoggend in die Kaapse Hooggeregshof skuldig bevind aan die moord op die 10-jarige Sharmonique Claassen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sharmonique, ook bekend as Shuma, was \u2019n gr.\u20095-leerder aan die Prim\u00eare
\nSkool Dalweide. Sy is vermoedelik versmoor en verkrag voordat haar liggaam in
\n\u2019n kombers en swart sak versteek is. Haar hande en voete was glo ook met draad
\nvasgebind.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sy het op 27 Februarie spoorloos uit haar ouerhuis in
\nIrisstraat verdwyn.

<\/p>\n

\u2019n Uitgebreide soektog na haar is van stapel gestuur
\nen op Maandagaand, 29 Februarie, \u2019n dag n\u00e1 haar 11de verjaardag, is haar lyk in
\nhaar oom se huis op die erf waar Shuma saam haar gesin in \u2019n opslaanhuis gewoon
\nhet, gevind.

<\/p>\n

\n

Amerika, \u2018n familievriend, is dieselfde aand deur die polisie vir
\nondervraging ingeneem en is enkele dae later aangekla vir moord.<\/p>\n

Regter Robert Henney het Amerika op sewe aanklagte waaronder \u2018n aanklag van moord, 4 aanklagte van verkragting, een van ontvoering en een van geslagsgemeenskap met \u2018n minderjarige, skuldig bevind.<\/p>\n
