Hy is op 24 April in die Wes-Kaapse hooggeregshof tot 25 jaar tronkstraf vir sy eksmeisie Juanicka Witbooi se wrede moord gevonnis nadat hy skuld beken en \u2019n pleitooreenkoms met die staat aangegaan het.&nbsp;Hy het erken dat hy Willemse om die lewe gebring het om te verhoed dat sy teen hom sou getuig in \u2018n ander saak waarop hy teregstaan.&nbsp;Willemse, \u2019n ma van drie kinders waarvan die jongste byna twee jaar oud was ten tyde van die moord, se erg verminkte liggaam is op 4 September 2020 in Cambridgestraat, nie ver van haar huis in Hawston af nie, gevind. Presies een jaar voor dit \u2013 op 4 September 2019 \u2013 het \u2019n verbyganger op Micarlo Gillion se liggaam wat ook erg geskend was, naby Hawston se sportterrein afgekom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Witbooi en Valentino Witbooi is kort na Gillion se dood in hegtenis geneem. Hy was uit op waarskuwing in verband met di\u00e9 saak toe hy vir Willemse se moord in hegtenis geneem is. Lee-Ann Gillion het kort na Witbooi se inhegtenisneming in 2020 aan die <em>Hermanus Times<\/em> ges\u00ea Willemse se moord sou nooit gebeur het as Witbooi nie na haar seun Micarlo se moord vrygelaat was nie.&nbsp;\u201cAs hy in die tronk gebly het, sou dit nie gebeur het nie,\u201d was haar woorde.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eric Ntabazalila het bevestig dat Witbooi en sy medebeskuldigde albei op waarskuwing vrygelaat was en dat die rol in een stadium van die hofrol geskraap was omdat \u2019n getuie nie by die hof was nie. Volgens Gillion was haar seun \u201cdoodgemartel\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHy was s\u00f3 erg beseer dat ons nie eens sy kis kon oopmaak om finaal van hom afskeid te neem nie,\u201d het sy verduidelik. Gillion het Willemse se ma Elizabeth tydens Witbooi se eerste hofverskyning op Maandag 7 September 2020 bygestaan.&nbsp;Elizabeth Willemse het vertel dat sy nie regtig geskok was toe sy haar dogter se lyk gevind het nie omdat Witbooi voorheen gedreig het om haar te vermoor.&nbsp;\u201cHy het gedreig hy gaan haar ophang, haar o\u00eb uitsteek en haar tong uitsny. Sy het hom gevrees, maar nooit \u2019n klag gel\u00ea nie, want hy het gedreig hy gaan die huis afbrand en haar dogter verkrag as sy nie doen wat hy s\u00ea nie,\u201d het Elizabeth vertel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Witbooi is sedert sy inhegtenisneming in 2020 vir Willemse se moord in hegtenis nadat hy aangedui dat hy nie om borgtog sou aansoek doen nie.&nbsp;Kolonel Luthando Nosilela, Hermanus-polisie se stasiebevelvoerder, het die vonnis verwelkom. \u201cBaie dankie aan die ondersoekbeampte, sersant Craig Philander, vir sy goeie ondersoekwerk wat \u2019n deurslaggewende rol in die swaar vonnis gespeel het. \u201cHierdie vonnis stuur \u2019n duidelike boodskap uit dat misdadigers wat hulle aan sulke wrede dade skuldig maak, aan die pen sal ry,\u201d het Nosilela bygevoeg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eric Ntabazalila, woordvoerder van die Nasionale Vervolgingsgesag in die Wes-Kaap, het bevestig dat Witbooi tot gevonnis is tot 25 jaar gevangenisstraf wat opgeskort is vir drie jaar op voorwaarde dat hy nie in di\u00e9 tyd skuldig bevind word aan moord of poging tot moord nie.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2019n Man van Hawston wat sy
