NEWS Leave a comment

Both the state and defence lawyers on Thursday closed their cases in the Eugene Terre’Blanche murder trial.

Chris Mahlangu and his teenage co-accused opted not to take the stand.

They are accused of murdering the former Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging (AWB) leader on his farm on the outskirts of Ventersdorp in April 2010.

The pair allegedly murdered their boss after a wage dispute. 

On Thursday, Judge John Horn began proceedings by delivering his ruling on the state’s ‘hearsay’ application.

Prosecutors wanted to use Mahlangu’s statement to implicate the teenager.  

But Horn dismissed the application saying it was not in the interest of justice.

The state then closed its case.

Defence lawyers for both Mahlangu and the teenager told the court neither of the two would take the stand.

Closing arguments will be heard when the matter resumes on Wednesday.

Early indications suggest judgment will be handed down in May.
