No, let him suffer for his stupidity. Pity we don't allow administering electric shocks to captives any more..

Why Milpark? Or does he have Medical Aid?

Allegedly? How did it magically explode with him near it, with him using cutting tools? Charge him with treason and let him suffer in a prison hospital.

**** off. Wishing him a speedy recovery??
Hope he suffers a slow and painful death.

To be fair, the 'alleged' act is because we are supposed to be innocent until proven guilty. Rule of law...

..that said, the dude is guilty as sin.

Hope he recovers enough to get his 18yr sentence which is equivalent to 10 rapes, 3 murders and corruption to the value of billions.
His sentence is applicable the others mentioned are not.
