Angolan Court Sentences Jackie Shroyer to 24 Years for Husband’s Murder

Her defense plans to appeal the verdict.

Overview

  • Lubango District Court delivered the conviction on Wednesday and ordered Jackie Shroyer to pay 10 million kwanzas in compensation to the victim’s family.
  • The court found she helped scout the scene and that Beau Shroyer was killed in a knife ambush, ruling she paid about $9,500 to have the attack carried out.
  • Three co-defendants were also sentenced: Bernardino Elias received 21 years, Gelson Ramos 21 years, and Isalino Kayoo 22 years along with a weapons-related fine.
  • Each co-defendant was ordered to pay 4.5 million kwanzas to the family, and the four defendants were assessed a 150,000-kwanza court fee.
  • SIM USA and the Lakes Area Vineyard Church said the Shroyer children remain in the United States under family care as the church praised the trial’s thoroughness and expressed grief.
