Someone is killing the suspects linked to the 2017 murder of Cape Town ‘steroid king’ Brian Wainstein. So far, three of the accused have been gunned down. The alleged trigger-man in Wainstein’s killing is among the dead. The number of people charged with the murder has now gone from 16 to 13..
Disgruntled criminal lawyers said the speed at which the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) dealt with the bail applications of alleged underworld trio, Jerome “Donkie” Booysen, Mark Lifman, 56, and Willem Stevens, 66, and who were subsequently released on bail of R100,000, has set a dangerous precedent.
The men were arrested on 22 December 2020 on charges of murder and conspiracy to murder and released on bail within hours. Booysen and Stevens face an additional charge of money laundering.
