Xander Bylsma intends appealing his sentence over the Stella murders he was convicted of.
He was found guilty of the murder of his ex-girlfriend and her friend.
Sharnell Hough was found hanged and Marna Engelbrecht was strangled at a North West school.
The tragedy of the Stella hostel murders will be revisited on Friday when Xander Bylsma tries to appeal his sentencing in the double murder case.
He was handed two life sentences for the death of his ex-girlfriend Sharnell Hough, 17, and her friend and his cousin Marna Engelbrecht.
He was 19 at the time of the murders, and, according to the court, he showed behavioural problems at school and was eventually expelled from the school hostel.
