Cape Town - A cold case from 12 years ago has resurfaced at the Western Cape High Court after the accused was linked to it through DNA evidence. Felicity Cilliers, 31, from Stellenbosch, was raped, strangled and left for dead in Longlands in 2007.In August last year, her alleged killer, Andrew Jordaan, was arrested in Ladysmith and taken by police to Cape Town. On the first day in court, a trial within a trial was established following a dispute about evidence.
On Tuesday, the defence submitted its heads of arguments in the trial within a trial. “The written statement amounts to a confession. The necessary procedures were not complied with and thus will render the document inadmissible,” the defence submitted. According to Jordaan’s testimony, he was punched twice by police en route to Cape Town - once in the car and another time when police were buying food for the journey.
