A Mpumalanga farmer has been remanded in custody, after allegedly knocking over two children with his car, while assaulting the third. Louis Johannes Grobbler was arrested last week Friday, a few hours after the incident took place.
Police spokesperson Colonel
Donald Mdhluli said the attack happened after Grobler accused the children of
theft. Two of the victims aged 11 and 13 sustained minor injuries
and the third one aged 10 years’ old sustained serious injuries.
The 42 year old man faces two
counts of attempted murder and one of assault with intent to cause grievous
bodily harm. During his bail proceeding on Wednesday, local community members
demonstrated outside court and called for the magistrate to deny him bail. The
case has been postponed until Friday.
