The baby Jordan murder trial

A Wynberg magistrate has testified that one of the accused in the baby Jordan Leigh Norton murder trial broke into tears while giving his confession. The state alleges that Mongezi Bobotyane, Sipho Mongezi Mfazwe and a 16-year old youth murdered the baby at her family home last year, allegedly at the behest of Dina Rodrigues. Eyewitness News reports that magistrate Magdalene Gravensteen told the Cape Town High Court that Bobotyane, who allegedly stabbed the baby, started crying while she was taking down his confession. The defence for the three men is trying to have their confession’s declared inadmissible as they claim they were forced into making the statements.
