AfriForum to help Coligny murderers appeal conviction

A legal team led by Advocate Barry Roux will be petitioning the Supreme Court of Appeal in Bloemfontein directly for leave to appeal the convictions of Pieter Doorewaard and Phillip Schutte for killing Coligny teenager, Matlhomola Moshoeu, AfriForum said on Thursday.

“AfriForum will finance the two men’s legal costs to petition the highest court of appeal to ensure that justice is done and prevent innocent people from being wrongly imprisoned. “I am confident that the two men’s conviction for murder will eventually be set aside on the grounds of the available evidence,” Kriel said in a statement.

Judge Ronnie Hendricks sentenced Doorewaard, 28, and Schutte, 35, to an effective 18 and 23 years respectively for killing Mosweu. The two were further sentenced to three years for kidnapping, two years for intimidation, one year for theft and two years for pointing of a firearm. The sentences will run concurrently.

The court found that the pair had pushed Mosweu out of a moving van in April 2017 after they found him stealing sunflower heads worth R80 at their employer’s field at Rietvlei farm near Scotland informal settlement in Coligny, North West.

Why are we surprised? It's afriforum. This country is clearly divided along racial lines. Mandela and Tutu mislead the masses into believing that we are a rainbow nation. What's next? Orania to take over

Afriforum is full of racism clearly.
