JUST IN: Man who allegedly ran over security guard intends to plead not guilty, granted bail | JennaEtheridge
A motorist intends pleading not guilty to attempted murder in connection with allegations that he drove over a security guard in a parking area, the Stellenbosch Magistrate's Court heard on Friday.
Steyn, who owns a general building repairs and maintenance business, said in an affidavit that he should be released from custody because he had to look after his wife and their one-year-old son. "I made more than one attempt to hand myself over to the police. I was, however, informed that no case has been opened against me as yet. Upon the third voluntary attempt, I handed myself over to the police."
In the video, which went viral on social media, the driver of a white bakkie can be seen talking to the security guard outside the shopping complex.
