The trial of the man dubbed the “Modimolle monster” and three others is expected to continue in the High Court in Pretoria on Tuesday.

Johan Kotze is accused of mutilating and orchestrating the gang-rape of his ex-wife Ina Bonnette, and of murdering his stepson Conrad (19) on January 3, 2012. At the time Bonnette was married to Kotze, but lived in her own flat.

His co-accused, Andries Sithole, Pieta Mohlane, and Frans Mphaka are accused of kidnapping, assaulting, repeatedly raping, and attempting to murder Bonnette. Kotze had hired the three to do work at his home.

In April, the court heard how Kotze and Bonnette had an agreement that she would have sex with three men. Sithole testified how he translated Kotze’s orders the day Bonnette was attacked in his Modimolle home.

Francois van As, for Mohlane and Mphaka, said his clients were told Kotze and Bonnette agreed she would sleep with three black men and he would arrange it for her.

Van As said Kotze told them his wife was not getting enough sex from him, he was too fat, and he suspected her of cheating. He said his clients did not want to have sex with Bonnette. They wanted their money for the day’s labour and to go home.
