Trial of alleged Bloemfontein kidnapper postponed again─── 15:33 Fri, 28 Aug 2015
Bloemfontein- The trial of the 24 year-old alleged kidnapper, Fannie Mathebula, was postponed in the Bloemfontein regional court once again today.
The postponement, to September 16, was granted for the accused’s lawyer, Gideon Hanekom, to receive a copy of the docket.
Mathebula stands accused of kidnapping an eight-year old girl in Glen, just outside the city, two months ago.
He was found to be mentally stable last week, after the court referred him for a short mental evaluation at the Free State psychiatric complex, in Bloemfontein.
He remains in police custody.
