Ramone Heymann (35) who was recently found guilty on three charges relating to the death of Shannon Sacco (16) in March 2016 after she was allegedly hit by a vehicle on her way home, is expected back in the Mankweng Regional Court for sentencing on 20 September.
Maphure Manamela of the Provincial Police Communications Centre recently confirmed that Heymann was found guilty on charges of culpable homicide, driving without a licence and failure to render assistance after an accident.
Shannon who was at the time of the accident a Grade 11 learner of Westenburg Secondary School died later the same day in hospital.
Her mother, Esmerelda Delport was at home when one of her daughter’s friends called to inform her about the accident. When she arrived at the scene her daughter had already been placed on a stretcher and her face was covered in blood.
Heymann was arrested soon after the incident. He did not stop at the scene to wait for authorities but someone followed him home and informed the Police of his whereabouts.
