R100‚000 bail: How free is alleged axe killer Henri van Breda?

14 June 2016 - 16:56 By TMG Digital

Murder accused Henri van Breda looked like a free man when he strode out of court and eased into the back seat of an idling BMW. But paying bail of R100‚000 did not give him unfettered freedom until his next appearance at the High Court in Cape Town on September 9.   The state and defence team agreed on a set of strict bail conditions which include:That he lives at an address furnished to the state.He inform the investigating officer‚ in writing‚ of any planned change in residential addressbefore changing to that address.He surrender his passport to the South African Police Service.Hands over any other travel documents or passports in his possession.That he may not leave the Western Cape.He may not come within 500 metres of any international port of entry.That he report every Monday and Friday to the commanding officer of the Community Service Centre of the South African Police Service in Parow during specific hours.He may not make contact or communicate in any way with state witnesseswhich could potentially include his sister Marli who survived the attack.That he present himself to the High Court on September 9‚ or elsewhere determined by the courts‚ until the case is finalised.READ MORE: ..
