Secrecy surrounds witnesses in Goldin and Bloom murder trial

A veil of secrecy has been drawn around the status of two accused in the Brett Goldin and Richard Bloom murder case who have turned state witness. According to reports correctional services officials refused to comment on whether the pair had entered the State witness protection programme or were still being held at Pollsmoor Prison. In terms of the plea bargain, the two accused will each serve 12 years in prison. The alleged gang boss Igshaan "Sanie American" Davids is facing charges of intimidation after he allegedly threatened to kill several of his brother's co-accused if his sibling was convicted.
