Shangri la Posted May 29, 2013 Share From Wolfram ZweckerHi guys. Three accused (26, 28 and 38) charged with the rape of a 26 year old cyclist were denied bail in the Kempton Park regional court today. These are the guys who held up the brother and sister who were out riding their bikes near the Benoni off-ramp on the R21 highway to Pta. They tied them up and later raped the sister. A week later, with the help of eBlockwatch and Andre, they were arrested. No info was given about number 1, (he did not apply for bail) but 2 and 3 are serious jailbirds. Number 2 has been convicted 10 (ten) times since 1993, number 3 about 8 times. The case has been postponed to 18 July awaiting D NA results. All 3 have made confessions and pointed out the crime scene so the case looks good. It will be heard in the high court. Gang rape carries a life (25 years) sentence. "Normal" rape is 15. The 10 cases of theft/robberies in the Kempton area, where cyclists were robbed of their bikes do not look so rosy. None of the suspects were ID at the ID parade, so they can only be charged with being in possession of stolen goods. (and a bike, even worth thousands, is not high on our magistrates list as worst evils). They are being charged in the Tembisa regional courts. Moral of the story, if you get robbed, try (easily said) and get as much info of the robber, as possible. Afterwards keep in touch with the investigating officer (easier said than done). If they could have ID' the robbers, a case of organized crime could have been build, going from Tembisa (Kempton) all the way back to Mozambique. That would have meant a sentenc e of 10/15 years, now we are looking at a slap on the wrist. Tumbleweed and DR ◣◢ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butterbean Posted May 29, 2013 Share Let's hope the bastards get out away for as long as possible. I still can't believe rape doesn't get life... That's what they take from the victims. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrFine Posted May 29, 2013 Share I cant believe with all those conviction rate's these bastard's still roam the streets. It surely shows that the justice system sucks and they cannot at all be rehabilitated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
