'Coffin duo' to apply for bail
30 November 2016
Middelburg – The two men who are seen in a video forcing Victor Mlotshwa into a coffin and threatening him are expected to appear in the Middleburg Magistrate's Court to reapply for bail, the National Prosecuting Authority confirmed on Wednesday.
"The accused appointed council in the meantime to arrange for a bail application so they will be [in court] tomorrow [Thursday]," NPA regional spokesperson Monica Nyuswa said.
On November 16, Theo Jackson and Willem Oosthuizen had abandoned their bail bid.
They are facing charges of kidnapping and assault with intent to do grievous bodily harm, Nyuswa said.
