‘Third Son of God,’ Lotter siblings convicted of murder

A brother and sister on trial for the murder of their parents claim the girl’s boyfriend, Matthew Naidoo, put the two under a powerful spell.
“He used witchcraft on us. How can two people believe that they are meant to kill their parents?” asked Nicolette Lotter, 29, in Durban, South Africa, High Court.
During the trial of Nicolette and Hardus Lotter, and her boyfriend, Matthew Naidoo, for the murder of the siblings’ parents a court in South Africa heard the motive for the double murder was to get a share of the inheritance.
Naidoo told his girlfriend and her brother how to kill her parents and that it was God’s will they should die, according to statements made to police.
