The grandmother of Poppie van der Merwe said she could finally rest after the North Gauteng High Court in Pretoria sentenced the toddler's killers, Louisa and Kobus Koekemoer, to life behind bars.
Judge Bert Bam labelled the Koekemoers "inherently evil" and sentenced them to life in prison for Poppie's murder and an additional 10 years for child abuse involving two other minor children.
He said this was evidenced by her mother's mentioning of her "playing dead. During evidence in mitigation of sentence, Louisa testified and broke down several times.
The couple have been arrested for life in prison for the death of their three year old child "Poppie".
