Andrews said he only realised the next morning that she had died next to him sometime during the night. He said in his explanation of plea that he was drinking with friends two streets down from where he and De Kock lived. “She grabbed a nearby bottle and wanted to hit me with it. I grabbed the bottle from her and put it in the cupboard. She swore at me and insulted my private parts, before she grabbed me by my clothes.”

Members of the community last week packed the public gallery, sporting yellow T-Shirts with the name of De Kock on. They wanted answers as to what actually happened that night. Acting Judge Moeder Leso commented during sentencing that Andrews claimed that he loved De Kock, yet he brutally stabbed her to death.She added that violence perpetrated on women had become the norm and said the courts needed to send a clear message that this type of conduct would not be tolerated.

Apology rejected.
