Netbalafrigter Elrico \u201cRico\u201d Byl (27) wat verlede jaar geweldadig op die strand naby die Tabakbaai-vakansieoord by Saldanha vermoor is, se moordenaar het skuld erken en is gevonnis.
Wesley Snyders (19) is op Dinsdag 24 Junie in die Vredenburg-streekhof 25 jaar direkte gevangenisstraf opgel\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Volgens Eric Ntabazalila, woordvoerder vir die nasionale vervolgingsgesag (NVG), het Snyders erken hy het Byl gesteek, met \u2019n klip geslaan en hom van sy selfoon beroof nadat hulle seks op die strand gehad het.
Die hof het gelas dat Snyders twee derdes van die 25 jaar direkte gevangenisstraf moet uitdien voordat hy vir parool in aanmerking kan kom.
Die gemeenskap van Diazville het die vonnis met vreugde aangehoor, want hulle het soos wat hulle onverpoosd na Joshlin Smith gesoek het, ook oral na Byl gesoek nadat hy op Maandag 15 Januarie by die Saldanha-polisiekantoor as vermis aanmeld is. Dit is met die fynkam van die stuk ongerepte strand, wat hulle op die lyk afgekom het.
Byl is die laaste keer op Sondag 14 Januarie gesien waar hy sy huis in Oesterstraat verlaat.
Sy lyk is Woensdag 17\u2009Januarie 2024 gekry op ‘n berugte stuk strand, wat al “Die Begraafplaas” genoem is weens al die lyke wat die afgelope drie dekades hi\u00e9r gekry is.
Weslander het verlede jaar berig oor Byl se erge aanranding en marteling voor sy dood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speursersant Siyabonga Bara, wat die saak ge\u00ebrf en die ondersoek voltooi het, het die gemeenskap bedank vir die beduidende aandeel wat hulle in die suksesvolle inhegtenisneming en vonnis van Snyders gehad het.
