Pretoria - The lawyer for convicted murderer Andrew Jordaan is to appeal his life imprisonment sentence.
"My instructions are that we should proceed with an appeal,"
advocate Kgomotso Tlouane said outside the court.
Tlouane was speaking shortly after the Pretoria High Court sentenced 26-year-old Jordaan to life imprisonment for the murder of seven-year-old Sheldean.
Jordaan was also sentenced to three years imprisonment for her
kidnapping, 10 years for her attempted rape and a further 15 years for the rape of her friend.
Human's mother Elize said she had expected a tougher sentence and that she was relieved that the matter had come to an end.
