VIRGINIA. – Witnesses told the High Court about how a group, including a few policemen, planned the murder of a well known businessman and farmer from Wesselsbron and two police investigating officials, from the prison in Odendaalsrus.
They also testified about how different prisoners were told to go and draw blood in the place of others, in order for the murders to be arranged.
This occurred irrespective of the fact that one of the main witnesses for the state has dissapeared between Wednesday evening and Thursday morning, when he was required to testify.
Another testified how he was threatened in prison that he would be sodomized if he did not join the groups murder conspiracy, who are accused of conspiracy to murder Mr. Carel Marais and Insp. Nico Smith and Insp. Lizelle Herbst of the Hawks.
Mr. Lucas Kgobe, who was imprisoned on charges of rape, informed Judge S.P.B. Hancke how Insp. Japhta Kgothule (policeman brother of Free State arts and culture MEC Dan Kgothule), with whom he was imprisoned, was the spokesperson of the groups conspiracy.
He was approached by Mr. Godfrey Molefi (the witness who has since dissapeared) with information about “work” that Kghothule and his conspirators had for him. Molefi said that the work involved assassinating the complainant and the investigating officials in the accuseds case.
He was taken with Molefi to the other cell where Kgothule said he would make sure that Kgobe's bail was paid, so that they could get out to do the “work”.
