Daar was groot blydskap en \u2019n gejuig nadat Denver du Plessis, wat aangekla is dat hy \u2019n tenger vrou aangerand en petrol oor haar uitgegooi het, se aansoek om borgtog afgekeur is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDonderdag 14 November sal vir \u2019n lang tyd deur die gemeenskap van Hawston en omliggende gebiede onthou word as die dag toe die mense se geloof in die regstelsel, wat baie mense voel hulle gefaal het, weer herstel is nadat die landdros ges\u00ea het Denver du Plessis sal nie op borgtog vrygelaat word nie,\u201d het Ilse de Villiers, die slagoffer se suster, verlede week aan Hermanus Times <\/i>ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Du Plessis, van Hawston, word daarvan beskuldig dat hy Bianca Adonis (42) aangerand, met \u2019n baksteen of groot klip teen die kop geslaan en ook petrol oor haar uitgegooi het. Die beskuldigde het volgens getuies daarna ook na Adonis se huis gegaan, haar ruite uitgegooi en na bewering ook petrol rondom die huis gegiet \u2013 vermoedelik om die huis aan die brand te steek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die drama het hom, afgespeel n\u00e1 \u2019n onderonsie toe Bianca volgens getuies \u2019n sigaret by die beskuldigde gevra en hy haar na bewering hardhandig van sy eiendom af weggejaag het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bianca het in \u2019n vroe\u00ebr onderhoud aan Hermanus Times <\/i>erken dat sy tydens die struweling \u2019n klip na Du Plessis gegooi het en dat \u2019n ruit in die proses gebreek het. Volgens haar het die aanval gebeur toe sy kort daarna na Du Plessis se huis teruggekeer het om verskoning te vra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy is per ambulans na die hospitaal vervoer waar sy steke aan haar kop moes kry. Sy het ook beserings aan haar arms, bors en been opgedoen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Du Plessis is die volgende dag in hegtenis geneem en van poging tot moord, alternatiewelik aanranding met die opset om ernstig te beseer, en kwaadwillige saakbeskadiging aangekla.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n Geskiedenis van geweld<\/b>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die beskuldigde het in \u2019n verklaring, wat deur sy prokureur in die rekord ingelees is, erken dat hy onder meer \u2019n vorige veroordeling vir moord het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns was geskok om te hoor hy het \u2019n lys vorige veroordelings vir onder meer aanranding, moord en poging tot moord wat so ver as die vroe\u00eb 1990\u2019s terugdateer. Die meeste hiervan het verband gehou met aanvalle op vroue,\u201d het Ilse ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Haar broer Hadley Cloete het ook in die borgtogaansoek getuig dat Du Plessis se vrou na bewering \u2019n man gestuur het om Bianca R2 000 aan te bied in ruil daarvoor om die saak terug te trek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIn sy uitspraak het die landdros genoem dat die ondersteuning van die gemeenskap, hoofsaaklik vroue, bewys hoe keelvol die gemeenskap vir sulke gewelddadige aanvalle op vroue is,\u201d het Ilse ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie landdros het ook ges\u00ea dis verbasend dat iemand met s\u00f3 \u2019n lang lys vorige veroordelings daarmee weggekom het, maar bygevoeg dit het hom uiteindelik ingehaal en dit sou in die belang van geregtigheid en die gemeenskap se veiligheid nie reg wees om borgtog toe te staan nie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n Gemeenskap staan saam<\/b>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2019n Groot groep, bestaande uit lede van die gemeenskap, Hawston-buurtwag, vriende en familie sowel as verteenwoor\u00addigers van die ACDP, DA en Alliance of Citizens for Change, het sedert Du Plessis se eerste hofverskyning by die hof vergader om die slagoffer en haar familie te ondersteun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hiervoor, s\u00ea Bianca se familie, is hulle baie dankbaar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns wil almal bedank vir hul onbaatsugtige ondersteuning en die opofferings wat hulle gemaak het om by die hof te wees. Dankie ook aan diegene wat betaal het vir voertuie om die mense na en van die hof te vervoer,\u201d het Hadley Cloete ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ilse het die ondersoekbeamptes en die regstelsel bedank vir hul harde werk om te verseker dat borgtog nie toegestaan word nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDankie vir jul onbaatsugtige ondersteuning en die feit dat julle uit jul pad gegaan het om te verseker dat geregtigheid geskied en dat ons gerus kan wees dat Bianca in die feestyd veilig sal wees.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die familie het ook die land\u00addros bedank vir \u201cdie ma\u00adnier waarop hy die saak hanteer het\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNa ons mening was hy baie regverdig en hy het ook die redes waarom die borgtogaansoek afgekeur is, duidelik uitgestippel. Sy besluit om die aansoek af te keur, was die antwoord op ons gebede,\u201d s\u00ea Ilse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die saak is tot 13 Desember uitgestel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
