The late Reshall Jimmy was not up to no good or trying to commit suicide when his Ford Kuga caught alight with him inside it in the Wilderness, an inquest in the Western Cape High Court found this week.
Bystanders were puzzled that he had made no attempt to get out of the car, and at first did not know there was anybody in the car. In Henney’s view, based on evidence presented to him, the cause of the fire was an electrical fault in the area between the dashboard and windscreen. “In terms of section 16, the court is unable to find that the death of the deceased was brought about by any act or omission amounting to an offence on the part of any person,” stated Henney.
There were suggestions of bullet casings, which later turned out to be part of an airbag, and the mystery sighting of a car full of “coloured” men near him before the car went up in flames. Before the finalisation of evidence, the family’s lawyer, Gerrie Nel, withdrew from the proceedings, with Renisha in agreement. In an affidavit on 19 July, 2019, she said a finding of “undetermined” would be just.
