No Bail in Rehoboth ‘Cigarette Murder’ Case

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.

THE five Rehoboth men accused of killing a neighbour over a cigarette were refused bail this week.

Magistrate Gibson Imbili was not satisfied that it would be in the public interest to release Piet Cloete, his sons Johan and Albert, the sons’ cousin Charlton Forbes and another neighbour, Romano Maasdorp, on bail pending their murder trial.

The men applied for bail in the Magistrate’s Court in Rehoboth last Friday. Raynold Cloete (28) was stoned and stabbed to death about five months ago. It is alleged that he was killed after a fight over a cigarette broke out between him and one of the Cloete brothers. The accused have been in custody since their arrest shortly after the murder.

It is understood that Piet Cloete has also allegedly threatened the father of the deceased. The five men are allegedly notorious for their violent behaviour in the town’s Block F area. The men are expected to plead to the murder charge on Monday, August 30.

Public Prosecutor Victor Kwenani represented the State during the court proceedings, while the five men were represented by Winnie Christians. The men have apparently indicated that they would like to appeal against Imbili’s ruling.
