Middelburg – One of the accused in the coffin assault case, Theo Jackson, has denied tying Victor Mlotshwa with cable ties, assaulting him with clenched fists, a knobkerrie and kicking him all over his body.
Jackson was testifying during the eighth day of the trial in the High Court sitting in the Middelburg Magistrate's Court on Thursday.
Jackson and Willem Oosthuizen are facing charges of kidnapping, assault with intent to do grievous bodily harm, attempted murder and possession of an illegal firearm.
They were granted R1 000 bail in July after reapplying for bail.
