The 15-year-old Keyzer admitted to sexually assaulting 21-year-old Kassandra Keyzer in his grandmother’s basement, because he was jealous of the impending marriage to her fiancé and father of her two children, Robert Johnson.

The teenager also wounded his 67-year-old grandmother, Sharon Keyzer, when she tried to intervene, by cutting her throat though she survived the attack but later died five months later.

After undergoing two court-ordered psychiatric evaluations, Keyzer was found competent to stand trial.
