Stompiesfontein murder: Investigating officer describes farmworker's last hours | AlexMitchley

This was the testimony of the investigating officer during the bail application of Garry Wiblin and Dennis Grose in the Delmas Regional Court on Wednesday.

At this point, Stompiesfontein farm manager Dawie Lecordeur hit Masilela with his Toyota Hilux Bakkie, injuring him. At this point, Lecordeur, Strauss and Barnard found Masilela’s friend, still hiding among the bean crops. Despite having no eyewitness to the next events, the State alleges that Wiblin and Grose must have loaded Masilela's body onto Wiblin’s bakkie before driving off.

Masilela’s family opened a missing person’s case later in June and, according to the State, no one approached the police about the incident on the farm initially. A second autopsy was done after the new information emerged. This time the cause of death stated that Masilela had died as a result of a gunshot wound to the head.
