'He's probably a paedophile'

Cape Town - Child murderer Theunis Olivier does not suffer from any multi-personality disorder conditions, the Cape High Court heard on Monday.

Testifying before the court, psychiatrist Konrad Czech who examined Olivier said there was no proof that the convicted child killer had such a condition.

"I completely rule out multi-personality disorder," he said.

Giving evidence in mitigation of his sentence last week, Olivier said he suffered from multi-personality disorder conditions and blamed Czech for not having conducted any tests on him.

However, Czech said a preliminary interview he did with Olivier did not warrant any further tests.

"There was no evidence that any further tests were required".

Olivier told the court that his multi-personality condition was to be blamed for the murder of six-year-old Steven Siebert in December 2005.

However Czech said the likelihood was that Olivier suffered from paedophilia and there was no cure for this condition.
