Age 43. , provides the precise details of how he died. The family woke up to find two armed intruders standing inside their living room. The criminals confronted Heunis in front of his wife, Mariandra Heunis, who was thirty-six weeks pregnant with their fourth child at the time, and their young four-year-old daughter. One of the armed men opened fire on Heunis, shooting him continuously in the head at close range. The severe ballistic trauma inflicted by the gunfire caused immediate, fatal injuries, and Heunis died on the scene in front of his family. The judicial convictions and final sentencing were finalized in late March 2020. Judge William Letsoalo officially found Justice Sethlangu guilty on all counts, including the murder of Johan Heunis, three counts of housebreaking with the intent to rob, and the illegal possession of a firearm and ammunition. The Pretoria High Court handed down a severe sentence, condemning Sethlangu to life imprisonment for the murder, supplemented by an additional forty-two years of imprisonment for the aggregated robbery and firearms convictions.
