Jenowin Hernies (25)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Jones het hy die gebeure aanskou.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“As ek nie padgegee het nie, het hy [die polisiebeampte] my ook raakgeskiet.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy s\u00ea Hernies was “geensins ‘n bedreiging vir die polisie nie”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Hy was binne die erf met sy rug na hulle [wat in die pad was] gedraai. My eerste vraag was dadelik: ‘Hoekom sal julle dan nou my [klein]seun wil skiet?’\u2009”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Dit was nie die eerste keer dat ons die polisie laat uitkom het nie. Vorige kere sou hulle hom vasbind en hospitaal toe neem waar hy ‘n inspuiting sou kry om hom te kalmeer.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy s\u00ea hy ken die polisieman wat die enkele skoot afgevuur het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jones vertel dat dit nie daar ge\u00ebindig het nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Hy het geskree weens die pyn. Hulle [die polisie] het toe ingekom en hom begin slaan. Hulle het hom gesleep tot by een van die polisiebakkies en is toe Paarl-hospitaal toe met hom.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hernies is volgens die familie Vrydag per helikopter na Tygerberg-hospitaal oorgeplaas, waar hy in ‘n koma is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Jones wag die familie op die hospitaal se mediese verslag, waarna ‘n strafregtelike klagte teen die betrokke beamptes ingedien sal word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kol. Johan Barkhuizen, bevelvoerder by die Wellington-polisiekantooor, het by navraag bevestig dat die polisie Vrydagoggend omstreeks 01:30 na Blignautstraat (aangrensende straat) ontbied is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“\u2009’n Saak van openbare geweld en aanranding van polisiebeamptes word ondersoek,” het Barkhuizen ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy het nie uitgewei op Paarl Post se vrae oor die omstandighede wat gelei het tot die skoot wat afgevuur is nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hierdie berig is aangepas nadat daar in die gedrukte Paarl Post van Donderdag (5 Februarie) berig is dat Hernies nog in \u2019n koma in die Tygerberg-hospitaal was. Sy familie het n\u00e1 die koerant reeds gedruk het, die publikasie ingelig dat hy afgesterf het.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"“Ons wou net h\u00ea die polisie moes hom laai en hospitaal toe neem vir ‘n kalmeerinspuiting.
