Lover Gets 25 Years
Five-and-a-half weeks of gripping testimonies, surprise witnesses and a chilling confession by the accused culminated in the sentencing of Reinhardt Leach on Friday for his role in the murder of his girlfriend, Vicki Terblanche.
The disgraced former primary school teacher, who pleaded guilty to killing Terblanche in October 2021, was handed an effective 25-year prison sentence by the Eastern Cape High Court in Gqeberha.
Leach reported Vicki missing on 21 October 2021.
Leach and Arnold Terblanche, Vicki's estranged husband, were both arrested in 2021, following her disappearance.
The body of the Bay mother, who was drugged and suffocated, was eventually found in a shallow grave in Greenbushes on the outskirts of Gqeberha.
Terblanche was fingered as the alleged mastermind behind Vicki's killing and is set to go on trial in October.
