Bester made an impassioned plea for the public to sign a petition for death sentence on him.
The convicted rapist and murderer, Thabo Bester has made an impassioned plea for the public to sign a petition for the death sentence to be imposed on him. This is to demonstrate his conviction that his co-accused are not part of his escape plot.
He pointed a finger at high profile authorities for his alleged ill-treatment in prison. He also complained that his mental health is compromised due to the 15 months that he has been in isolation. Bester went on to read through the notebook he came to court with, indicating how he has suffered at the hands of Correctional Services.
Bester is expected to have new legal representation in seven days. Legal analyst Thabo Molete weighed in.
