THE two men who forced Victor Mlotshwa into a coffin and threatened to pour petrol over him, are back in court for sentencing.
Theo Jackson and Willem Oosthuizen were found guilty of assault, attempted murder, kidnapping and intimidation in the high court sitting in Middleburg, Mpumalanga on 25 August.
COFFIN ASSAULT CASE: GUILTY, GUILTY, GUILTY!
Sentencing proceedings are expected to be heard in the Middelburg Magistrate’s Court on Monday.
Judge Shiela Mphahlele handed down judgement in the coffin case.
Mphahlele said she was satisfied the state has proved beyond reasonable doubt that the men were guilty of all charges except the charge of unlawfully possessing a firearm.
During the trial, Jackson denied tying Mlotshwa up with cable ties, moering him with his fists and a knobkerrie, and kicking him all over his body.
