ET 'throttled his killer'
April 14 2010 at 02:45PM
By Fienie Grobler and Miranda Andrew

Slain rightwing leader Eugene Terre'Blanche throttled and assaulted his murder accused on several occasions, a lawyer said outside the Ventersdorp Magistrate's Court on Wednesday.

Puna Moroko, lawyer for Chris Mahlangu, 28, told reporters his client first claimed he had been sodomised by Terre'Blanche but further questioning had revealed this could not be true.

"He [Mahlangu] mentioned "sodomy" to me [but] the consultation was very short... It didn't satisfy me, it just did not make sense to me, that's why I abandoned it," said Moroko.

"I am not satisfied that there was sodomy and my client accepted my advice."

He said that Mahlangu, who had been working for Terre'Blanche since last November, was throttled by the Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging leader about two months ago.

"He [Mahlangu] said he [Terre'Blanche] throttled him... [Terre'Blanche] said I'd kill you because the cattle is missing," said Moroko.

"The throttling was not an isolated incident," he added, declining to elaborate or say if an assault occurred on the day of the murder, which was last Saturday.

Asked why Terre'Blanche's pants were pulled down and his private parts exposed, Moroko said his client told him that the leader often did that when it was hot.

"He pulled his pants down because it was hot," said Moroko.

Moroko repeated the statement that there was a wage dispute with Terre'Blanche and that he often instructed his wife to deduct money from his workers' salaries for buying them alcohol and cigarettes.

Mahlangu's relationship with Terre'Blanche was "very bad" but Mahlangu needed the money.

His relationship with Terre'Blanche's wife, Martie, was "better" and he worked for her as a gardener during the week.

He was supposed to earn R600 a month from the Terre'Blanches but he often did not get paid, said Moroko.

"You realise 1994 didn't bring any change for some people... this case is more important than the Zuma case," he added, in an apparent reference to the now-withdrawn corruption charges against President Jacob Zuma.

Moroko said his client was doing "okay".

"He's not nervous or nothing and, no, we have not received any threatening or intimidating messages. My client has no cell phone behind bars and I have only received many messages of support for him," said Moroko, declining to say who his supporters were.

He said he was contacted by "good Samaritans" on Easter Monday who asked him to represent Mahlangu and since then, the Black Lawyers Association has indicated it would also support him.

Moroko was confident not only that his client would be granted bail, but also that he would be found not guilty.

Although Mahlangu and his co-accused, a 15-year-old boy, phoned the police to say, "we killed Terre'Blanche", that did not constitute a confession because a confession in law was made up of "different elements", said Moroko.

Mahlangu, wearing a grey T-shirt and grey pants, sat wide-eyed throughout the court hearing on Wednesday morning, with family members of Terre'Blanche silently staring at him from the front row of the public gallery.

His bail application was postponed to May 10 because of confusion over where he would be able to stay if granted bail. - Sapa

So, no sodomy, no condom, no sex acts, no throttling on the day of the murder...Just them obviously lying, as to why they pulled his pants down, after brutally murdering him.
 
He confessed, but it does not constitute a confession. He claimed being sodomised, but he wasn't. Why would anyone believe he was throttled then? Where's the witnesess?
Is there anything in this case resembling an .. uhm .. actual case!?

^JHatman - assassinated is such a harsh word. I prefer his death being 'carefully orchestrated'.
 
On a more serious note was there no inspections or mention of harm of the suspects when they were arrested?

Hmmm, you might be onto something. Check if their police statements end with something like:

"Thanks.

Have a great day & please feel free to let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Warm regards."
 
hell Afrihost throttled me with my pants up whilst I wasn't even looking... :p
 
some things sound true, others don't. i heard an interview on tv this morning that made me giggle, the lawyer said that this wasn't a murder, a murder is a technical term, we should say he killed him instead ;)
 
Its all for the BLACKIE SWARTS and they will get away with anything.

That upstanding former SA fellow Huntley didn't need to report any of his cases to police, yet the Canadian immigration board didn't have trouble believing he was the last white man in the WC. Hell many on the forum supported his baseless claims too. Don't be hypocrites guys.
 
So he "throttled" ET, and the panga/pipe just happen to be within reach?
Also, since ET's pant were down, didn't that indicate he was sleeping? Thus they had to actually plan when to kill him, and it didn't happen in the "heat of the moment"? Thus premeditated murder?
 
Read the interview with his wife.
Wonder if a doctor can verify her story.
Wonder if there were any other witnesses to this, and if I can I apply to be one?
