Dina appeal turned down
08/02/2008 12:30 - (SA)
Bloemfontein - The Supreme Court of Appeal on Friday dismissed an application by Dina Rodrigues for leave to appeal against her murder conviction.
The SCA also refused an application for an order directing that an appeal against her sentence also be heard by the Bloemfontein court.
Rodrigues was the mastermind in the murder of six-month-old baby Jordan-leigh Norton. She hired four men, Sipho Mfazwe, Mongezi Bobotyane, Zanethemba Gwada and Bonginkosi Sigenu to carry out the murder in Cape Town on June 15, 2005.
Jordan was the child of Natasha Norton and Neil Wilson. Wilson, a teacher, had been involved with Norton but at the time of the murder was seriously involved with Rodrigues.
Rodrigues was sentenced to life imprisonment by the Cape High Court in June last year.
