Susan was murdered at the Spier Wine Estate near Stellenbosch in July 2016.

The 47 year- old mother of three was found in the bathroom of their hotel room in what the defence says was a suicide.

Judge Gayaat Salie-Hlophe also sentenced Rohde to five years for obstructing the ends of justice.

Rohde’s lawyers will appeal his conviction and sentence.
