Nicholas Ninow is believed to have injected illicit drugs into the 'wrong vein', and his arm swelled up.
Nicholas Ninow is believed to have injected illicit drugs into the ‘wrong vein’, and his arm swelled up.
The 21-year-old Pretoria man apparently injected a concoction of drugs into the wrong vein while in custody at the Kgosi Mampuru II prison, anti-rape organisation #NotInMyName said on Monday morning. Ninow, who appeared slimmer at his last court appearance in March, was only visited by his grandmother who would bring him food. But the alleged rapist would apparently trade the food for drugs, Masango said.
Ninow faces five counts of rape, assault, possession of drugs, defeating the ends of justice and kidnapping.
