The stepfather of murdered Daniël Botha, who was barred from attending further proceedings in the Pretoria High Court sitting at Benoni Magistrate’s Court leading up to the sentencing of the perpetrators, has cried foul, claiming his side of the story wasn’t heard.
Gideon Fourie was found guilty of murder, while Jacques de Lange and Sampie Hearn were found guilty of assault with the intent to cause grievous bodily harm.The decision to ban the stepfather, André Pretorius, from further proceedings comes after an attorney for one of the accused told Magistrate Ian Cox on April 14 that he and his client were threatened and intimidated by Pretorius on many occasions.
He explained that in criminal matters, there were key roleplayers, and various factors necessitated postponements, hence the matter has been “dragging”. “The magistrate didn’t want to hear both sides of the story. He only considered the attorney’s version.
