They were sentenced almost five years after they were arrested for kidnapping and assaulting three minor boys in Meersig after they accused them of trying to steal a dog belonging to Pretorius and killing another.<br \/>\nAt the time the incident with the minors caused outrage in the community of Walvis Bay after some speculation that Pretorius used the dogs to breed puppies that would later be sold on to people involved with illicit dog fighting matches.<br \/>\nSwakopmund Regional Court Magistrate Gaynor Poulton, who initially found the four guilty on the charges leveled against them in May this year, stated in her judgement that the manner in which the children were assaulted was cruel and inhumane although the injuries they sustained were not serious.<br \/>\nMagistrate Poulton also stated in her judgement that no reason exists to remove the convicted person from society by virtue of a jail sentence and gave them the option to pay a fine instead.<br \/>\nThe Magistrate said Pretorius, Riobo, January and Vries are getting a second chance.<br \/>\nThe four accused persons each received a sentence of N$8 000 or three years imprisonment on three counts of kidnapping and N$5 000 or three years imprisonment each for assault with the intend to do grievous bodily harm.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-267615\" src=\"https:\/\/informante.web.na\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Neo-Paints-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"728\" height=\"180\" srcset=\"https:\/\/informante.web.na\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Neo-Paints-1.jpg 728w, https:\/\/informante.web.na\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Neo-Paints-1-300x74.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 728px) 100vw, 728px\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ni\u00ebl Terblanch\u00e9 LOGAN Pretorius, his fianc\u00e9e, Sandra Riobo, and their friends Curven Vries and Ashley Januarie were all sentenced to pay a combined fine of N$13 000 each after they were found guilty in May on charges of kidnapping and assault with intent to do grievous bodily harm.
