Lawyers to wrap up Coligny murder cross examination

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Lawyers representing two farm workers accused of killing 15-year-old Matlhomola Mosweu in Coligny are expected to conclude their cross examination of  the key witness, Bonakele Pakisi, at the North West High Court on Monday.

Pakisi told the court last week that he had seen Pieter Doorewaard and Philip Schutte  assaulting the teenager to death, and throwing him off a moving vehicle near Coligny in April last year.

Pakisi told the court that he heard Mosweu’s teenage voice calling for help while passing along a sunflower field. He was later confronted by accused number two, Schutte, who asked him if he saw what happened to the deceased.

Schutte pointed a gun at him, and ordered him to ride a motorbike with him to the bakkie, where he found the deceased lying flat on his stomach, with bruises on his face and clotted blood in the bakkie.

The lawyer representing accused number one, Groenewald, who was the driver of the bakkie on which Mosweu was thrown out, is expected to conclude the cross examination on Monday.
