There’s something about satanism and satanic rituals that has always captured people’s imaginations, and the death of an 18-year-old girl has sparked claims of just that.

Nadine Esterhuizen was found lying dead in a pool of blood at her sister’s house, with her long hair cut.

That might not sound the alarm bells, but get a load of this via IOL:

A cup of blood, with strands of her hair in it, was also found on the scene.

The killer used some of the hair to write the word “sorry”’ on the kitchen floor.

The female friend was allegedly found inside a locked toilet at the house, holding a knife.

That female friend, Corrine Jackson, was said to be “obsessed” with Nadine [above]. The victim’s family have denied that the two were in a relationship, and laid out what happened on Wednesday, September 27:

Nadine’s 29-year-old sister, who asked not to be identified, told the Daily Voice her fiancé had found the teen lying in a pool of blood in their kitchen.

She says Nadine was a matriculant at Athlone High School and had been visiting her.

“She was sleeping over at my home while she was on school holidays,” the woman explains.

“I left for work at 8.45am and told her not to open the door for anyone because the area is very quiet.

“Around 3.30pm, my fiancé was on his way home and I tried to call and WhatsApp her to say that my fiancé is coming home and for her to open the door.”

The sister says Nadine replied to her messages but the family now suspect it was actually Jackson [below] who responded.

“Around 3.57pm, my sister sent a WhatsApp saying she was at the shop and sent three question marks, then I called again and there was no answer,” she says.

“My fiancé said he knocked but there was no answer and then asked a tenant on the same property for an extra set of keys.

“He said when he opened the door, he saw my sister lying in a pool of blood.”

She says Nadine and Jackson had been friends since December 2016 and they believe her sister was killed in a satanic ritual.

“There was a cup filled with blood, we do not know whose blood it was,” adds the sister.

“There was also hair in the cup. Strands of hair were used to write the word ‘sorry’.”

She says Jackson was found inside a locked toilet in the house, holding a knife.

There is precedent for Jackson being violent towards Esterhuizen, with the latter having obtained an interdict against Jackson earlier this year after claims that she fractured Nadine’s skull and threw her cellphone into the ocean.

Satanism or not, another tragedy here in the Cape.
