Cape Town - The Cape High Court will be making a declaration whether self-confessed rapist and murderer, Steven Fortune is a dangerous criminal.
Today, Fortune made an appearance in the Cape High Court where sentencing proceedings continued.
Last month, Judge Robert Henney called for a panel of witnesses who were part of Fortune’s release from parole in 2017.
This includes a psychiatrist who did an evaluation at Valkenberg Psychiatric hospital, his previous victim, Correctional Services and the police.
Yesterday, Fortune’s probation officer, Wayne Lekeur, took the witness stand.
