Episode 11 - The Shoelace Killer

Loading player...
True Crime South Africa — In 2003, Wesley Julyan was 18-years-old when he was convicted of the murder of Kenneth van Aardt. He and his accomplice had strangled the man with a shoelace, walking away from their horrendous crime with just R 70. Julyan was sentenced to 13 years in prison which was eventually increased to 20 years on appeal. He was paroled in 2009 after having served just 5 years of his sentence.
Eight years later, four members of Wesley Julyan’s family were found deceased after a house fire. His brother Jeffrey Julyan, Jeffrey’s 9-year-old son Ethan, his 16-year-old stepdaughter Kayla and his father-in-law Peter, all perished, seemingly victims of the fire. Autopsy results and evidence found at the scene, though, would tell a very different story. https://crimesunlimited.com/podcast/
