Louis Johannes Grobbler is accused of running over two children and assaulting another. He faces two counts of attempted murder and one of assault.
He says they appeared from nowhere and he tried to brake but it was too late. Outside court, the local community members demonstrated and called for the magistrate to deny Grobbler bail. “Justice should be served by not giving him bail. It’s not true that it was a mistake, he intended to do it. Why did he chase the third child and assault them, if it was a mistake?”
He also told the court that one of Grobbler’s neighbours offered the father of one of the victims R150 000 to withdraw the case.
