FROM the grim faces in the courtroom’s public gallery on Tuesday morning, it was clear that the scumbag who confessed to being involved in the Van Rooyen killing was safer behind bars.
Seeming to agree, he, himself, chose to withdraw his bail application, opting to remain securely out of the public’s reach.
An air of despondency envelopes the courtroom where fellow farmers and friends of the late Billy Van Rooyen have gathered in solidarity.
In the witness stand of the packed courtroom, before the magistrate stands a 32-year-old taxi driver, charged with the murder of Billy Van Rooyen and Ronnie Lombard on April 19 at their farm in the Swart Umfolozi area.
The accused, who is believed to be one of nine who massacred the Van Rooyen home on that fateful night, mumbles that he has forgotten to put something in his confession to his attorney as the air grows heavy with tension. His attorney vocalises to the court that the accused wishes to amend his original confession.
Presiding Magistrate, Anna Lentink, explains to the accused that, as he has already finalised his first confession, he will now be required to submit a second confession. Having already confessed to his involvement in the murder of the two slain farmers prior to the hearing, he stands with his head held high, an expressionless face before the magistrate as he withdraws his bail application.
The case is postponed to June 6 and the accused is remanded back into custody, pending further investigation and the possibility of the addition of other suspects.
Captain Attie Engelbrecht, the investigating officer, requests that the community continue to support the police in their investigation and urges that anyone who has information regarding this case contact him on 082 411 6769.
