The man accused of raping and killing his girlfriend’s one-year-old son took the stand in his own defence at the Western Cape High Court.

But whether Ameeroedien Peters’ apparent emotional and “tearful” testimony will convince the judge of his innocence is another story.

Peters, 28, gave his version of events leading up to the death of little Jeremiah Ruiters in June 2017. Peters and the child’s mother, Abigail Ruiters, 31, are on trial for the rape and murder of the boy at their home in Salamander Square, Kensington.
