S.Africa: Tourist abducted, raped twice & shot at…
[Note. South Africa is a dangerous country – and being a foreigner won’t be much help – the criminals don’t care. Jan]
Nelspruit – Briton Julie Stevens burst into tears after pointing out a suspect in her abduction and rape last year, the Circuit Court in Nelspruit heard on Thursday.
Captain Ockey Brits, the police officer who supervised the identity parade, testified Stevens was nervous when asked to identify the men accused of the crime.
“She started crying bitterly shortly after pointing out one of the suspects,” Brits said.
Stevens and her South African friend, Tinus Opperman, were abducted and assaulted by four men on November 16 last year. They were visiting scenic spots in the Mpumalanga Lowveld.
A Mozambican, Domingo Alberto Chambal, who came to their aid was shot dead.
Sipho Mbokane, 29, Michael Dube 20, Erick Msibi, 23, and Willie Ngwenya, 20, have pleaded not guilty to 12 charges, including rape, robbery, abduction, attempted murder, indecent assault and murder.
Brits said Stevens pointed out all four men at the identity parade.
“She requested numerous times that the individuals lined up for the parade be moved closer to a one-way mirror in order for her to have a better look at them.”
Another police witness, Sergeant Coenie Mortlock, told the court how he found a fingerprint and a blood-smeared palm print on a vehicle windscreen at the crime scene.
DNA chain
Forensic experts were called to testify on Thursday morning after defence lawyers questioned the DNA chain police followed in the gathering evidence.
The State was expected to close its case by lunch time.
It was not clear whether or not defence counsel would call the accused to testify.
Stevens and Opperman were allegedly tied up and gagged before being forced into the back of the Toyota Venture they had been travelling in.
Their attackers took their bank cards and forced them to reveal their PIN codes. The State alleges they stopped at several banks, eventually withdrawing R1000 from Stevens’ account.
According to the indictment, Stevens was raped at least twice by one of the four during the day. One of the men fired a shot at her, but missed.
After driving around for most of the day, the pair’s abductors apparently overturned the Venture on a road between Badplaas and Barberton in the afternoon.
Chambal spotted the vehicle lying next to the road and stopped to assist. He was shot in the head at point blank range and died at the scene.
