Friends of the alleged station strangler Norman Afzal Simons say that he will be set free. Simons who has been serving 25-years imprisonment for the murder of 10-year-old Elroy Van Rooyen has be branded as the station strangler.

However DNA evidence has failed to link Simons to any of the murders. The Mitchell’s Plains Magistrates Court have been revisiting the unsolved cases, as part of an inquest into the deaths of five young children and a man in the 1990’s.

The Mitchell’s Plain Magistrates Court will be making its ruling at the end of November.

Is this seriously the only little bit of information you can give us? That friends of the station strangler are saying he will be free? What about what was said in court by the prosecuters, policeman, etc. This guy has been sitting in jail for 14 years and he might be innocent...
