With bullets in his stomach, knee and lower leg, Attie King only went to Tygerberg Hospital for help the next day. Redowaan de Bruyn is on trial for the murders of King, Ashwan Griffiths and Rubin Claasen on 13 July 2019 in Dahlia Street, Gansbaai.
His lawyer spent most of Monday quizzing a doctor to establish whether King's death may have been due to medical negligence, inferring that it may not necessarily have been the bullets which killed him. On Monday, the court heard that, although the shooting was around 20:00 the Sunday, King only took himself to Tygerberg Hospital on Monday morning. He was admitted around 07:00. He was operated on the following day, but his condition did not improve after 72 hours.
