Emotions ran high at the Pretoria North Magistrate’s Court during an appearance of the man accused of killing ANC MPL Mapiti Matsena as some relatives wanted him to reveal why he committed the crime.
Overwhelmed with emotions some relatives from the public gallery enquired from the accused:"How can you do that? Are you satisfied?".
For a few minutes the court went into an adjournment to allow the accused to interact with his lawyer. The court, however, noted that the officers had done their best so far, by making sure that the DNA tests were done.During his previous appearance the accused waived his legal right for a bail application, opting to remain in custody.
