Bloemfontein - The murder trial of a former Bloemfontein police officer is expected to resume in the city's Regional Court today.


Jaco du Toit is accused of shooting dead Michael Jacobs outside a pub in Bloemfontein in November 2014. Jacobs was shot five times after the pair allegedly became involved in a physical altercation.

A friend of the deceased, Monique Fourie, previously testified that she was not sure who threw the first punch. She also denied claims by Du Toit that Jacobs approached him with a beer bottle in his hand during the altercation.

Du Toit also claimed that he was severely assaulted after the incident.

More witnesses are expected to testify today.
