According to Beeld newspaper his parents' firearms, including those believed to be the murder weapons, were also left to him.

Deon Steenkamp, 44, his wife Christelle, 43, and their daughter Marthella, 14, were shot dead on the family farm Naauwhoek on April 6, last year.

Beeld reported that Deon and Christelle had a joint will. The assets in the estate were worth R22 999 307 and the liabilities to a single bond account R620 779.

Some R6.7 million cash was collected from Deon's policies. There was also a Naauwhoek trust with farms worth R7.6 million and cattle to the value of R1.2 million, which Don would inherit.

His sister would have inherited the Edelweiss trust that consists of farms worth R6.4 million, cattle valued at R960 150, and her mother's jewellery. Now Don would also inherit her portion.

He would only inherit the estate once he turned 21.

A 16-year-old boy was arrested for the murders and has pleaded not guilty. The murder trial is scheduled to resume on September 2.

Read some of the story in one of the mags. It appears the grandfather has a case on his hands becos he is spending a small fortune in legal fees .

Grandparents to the rescue.

@mikesack:

There was a thread about 'starting young'.

It's alarming that this tendency of harming / killing those nearest to one is becoming extant across the colour, race and religious lines.

What the heck is going on within our society?

Really, really sad and traumatising!
