Cosatu in North West says the High Court sitting in Ventersdorp should not have found the two accused in the Eugene Terre’Blanche killing guilty without looking at the circumstances the accused had found themselves in.

Chris Mahlangu was convicted on Tuesday of murdering the right-wing leader.

Patrick Ndlovu was found guilty of housebreaking.

Cosatu says Judge John Horn failed to consider that the pair could have been defending themselves in a fight that had broken out over a pay dispute.
