The defence attorney for alleged wife killer Arnold Terblanche wrapped up his arguments during a bail hearing in the high court in Gqeberha on Friday, reiterating his client’s innocence.
Alleged wife killer Arnold Terblanche’s lawyers have accused the state of misleading the magistrate presiding over his bail application based on new facts.
The state’s opposition to alleged wife killer Arnold Terblanche being granted bail is based on sheer speculation, and the credibility of facts placed before the court are questionable.
Gqeberha mom Vicki Terblanche was murdered a year ago, yet the case involving her estranged husband, her lover and a friend plagued with one delay after another is nowhere near trial stage.
In a shock turn of events, the state has called for the recusal of the magistrate presiding over the bail application of alleged wife killer Arnold Terblanche, arguing that perceptions of bias could result if he continued to officiate the matter.
