While three Eldorado Park men accused of kidnapping and murder appeared briefly in the Lenasia Magistrates court, several men accused of taking part in the act showed up outside court and allegedly threatened witnesses and family members.
The community of Eldorado Park has been left traumatised by the grizzly discovery of the bodies of Vusi Mathebula and Franklin Willet, beaten and mutilated beyond recognition, at a house linked to the alleged murderers. “I was actually on the stairs of the court for the formal bail application and I noticed that looking straight into my eyes was one of the two guys who had been personally threatening me since a week ago. He threatened me to my face and told be to stay away from this case altogether. Now they are standing outside the court and these are the same guys that were pointed out by two of the witnesses as the murderers.
Police earlier told The Citizen that all of the suspects in the case had been arrested, meaning there were only three suspects in the case according to authorities.This despite the Patriotic Alliance members in Eldorado Park calling for the arrest of five more men as suspects in the trial.
