The ex-wife of the so-called “Springs Monster”‚ who terrorised and abused their five children for years‚ is “not a bad woman”‚ her new fiance told Times Select on Wednesday.

Jan Coetzee‚ who is also a cousin of the “Springs Monster”‚ spoke excitedly about the life ahead of them now that sentencing has been handed down. She escaped with a five-year suspended sentence.

And while he described her as “wonderful” and “everything I want in a woman”‚ her ex-husband‚ who has been jailed for 35 years‚ has also found new love – in prison.
