S.Africa: Lion victim"s shredded clothes shown to judge

WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

S.Africa: Lion victim&QUOT;s shredded clothes shown to judge

By Carol Hills

Spectators in the Phalaborwa circuit court whispered and rose from their seats on Friday, craning their necks for a glimpse of the shredded remnants of the clothes Nelson Chisale was wearing when he was allegedly fed to lions near Hoedspruit in January 2004.

Pulling on surgical gloves, biological crime investigator Superintendent Ian van der Nest used a razor to slit open the sealed exhibit bag containing the clothes and pulled out a shirt he found in the encampment of the Mokwalo White Lion Project after the incident.

“If you look at the pocket, the collar area and sleeve, you see the remains of a long-sleeved, collared, checked shirt,” he described to the court the scrap of black and khaki cloth in his hands.

“There is discolouration, but I can’t say what it is,” Van der Nest testified. A label inside the remains of the shirt identified at as a size large of the make “Gentleman European”.

He took the ripped trousers out of the bag next. The material hung from his hands in strips.

They looked as if they had been khaki-coloured, the policeman told the court, pointing to one of the only patches of unstained material still intact behind a pocket.

He had tested the stains on the trousers and they reacted positively for the possible presence of blood, he told the court, adding that he had removed a pocket area for this DNA test.

Also in the bag were the remnants of a brown belt with a silver buckle.

Van der Nest could not say how the clothing had been torn. There could be “various causes”, he testified.

Asked by state prosecutor Ivy Thenga whether the damage could be “associated with tearing by hands”, he replied that tearing was extensive. “I would say required a lot more force.”

Van der Nest was testifying in the trial of Mark Scott-Crossley, 37, Richard “Doctor” Mathebula, 41, and Simon Mathebula, 43, accused of murdering Chisale, 43, when he arrived to collect pots, after being dismissed in November 2003.

The hearing resumed on Friday after Judge George Maluleke revoked Scott-Crossley’s bail on Thursday over an altercation in which he grabbed the shirt of witness Forget Tsako Ndlovu and muttered something to him at the close of proceedings on Tuesday.

Chisale’s niece, Fetsang Jafta, has been called to testify how she identified her mother’s younger brother’ remains after they were found in the lions’ den. – Sapa
