Emosies van skok en ongeloof het op verslae familielede en vriende se gesigte gerus toe die 18-jarige Nigel Plaatjies, \u2019n top-langafstandatleet en oud-leerder van Hugenote Ho\u00ebrskool, se aansoek om borgtog saam met die van sy oom, Johannes Plaatjies (34), in die Wellington-landdroshof geweier is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die twee beskuldigdes vir die moord op die bekroonde Wellington-skrywer Winnie Rust (77), het Donderdag 23 Junie hul lot aangehoor toe landdros Alvin Saptoe sy uitspraak in hul borgtogaansoek gegee het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Buiten aanklagte van moord staan albei ook tereg op aanklagte van roof met verswarende omstandighede. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rust se liggaam is op 11 Mei deur haar man, Manie, op die kombuisvloer van hul huis in Uitsig gekry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy is verwurg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nigel is twee dae n\u00e1 die moord in Wellington in hegtenis geneem, terwyl Johannes \u2019n paar dae later in Montagu vasgetrek is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Saptoe het ges\u00ea na aanleiding van die ondersoekbeampte, ao. Nico de Lange, se getuienis vroe\u00ebr het die staat \u2019n sterk prima facie saak teen die twee beskuldigdes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy het verwys na De Lange se getuienis dat die verdagtes tussen 15 en 20 minute n\u00e1 die moord die oorledene se bankkaart gebruik het om geld te onttrek, sowel as verskeie aankope met haar kredietkaart gemaak het by winkels in die Paarl. Die aankope is ook in Nigel se besit gevind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Saptoe het ges\u00ea Johannes het 12 vorige veroordelings wat soortgelyk is aan die klagtes waarop hy tans tereg staan en dat dit in belang van die gemeenskap is om die gemeenskap daarteen te beskerm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hoewel Nigel geen vorige veroordelings het nie en ook nie blyk om \u2019n gevaar vir die publiek in te hou nie, staar hy wel \u2019n langtermyn gevangenisstraf in die gesig sou hy skuldig bevind word. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy het ook nie sy volle samewerking aan die polisie gegee nie. \u201cHy het verskillende weergawes in die verklarings gegee. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDaar is \u2019n sterk prima facie saak teen beskuldige een (Nigel), al is dit net vir borgtogdoeleindes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy het ook daarna verwys dat Nigel die oorledene goed geken het en haar gereeld by die huis besoek het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Saptoe het aangevoer dat hoewel Nigel in sy polisieverklaring ges\u00ea het dat hy deur Johannes gedreig is om hom met die misdaad te help, het hy \u2019n kernrol in die beplanning gespeel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSy betrokkenheid was nie net beperk tot voor die pleging van die misdryf nie, maar dat hy deurgaans betrokke was.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Saptoe het ges\u00ea die beskuldigdes se verklarings oor waarom hulle op borgtog vrygelaat moet word, is meer gekarakteriseer deur wat hulle nie gedoen het nie as wat hulle gedoen het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie hof is nie oortuig dat hulle omstandighede aangevoer het wat hulle vir borgtog kwalifiseer nie. Die beskuldigdes se vrylating op borgtog word van die hand gewys.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Saptoe het n\u00e1 sy uitspraak die saak tot 12 Augustus vir verdere ondersoek uitgestel. Daar word op die forensiese verslae en twee addisionele verklarings gewag. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
