‘DRAGGING DEATH’ MAN FIT FOR TRIAL

SASOLBURG businessman Pieter Odendaal (44) has been declared fit to stand trial for the death of an employee who was allegedly dragged for about 6km behind a pick-up truck. Odendaal, who allegedly dragged Mosoko Rampuru (36) along a tarred road behind his bakkie, has been under psychiatric observation in Bloemfontein for 30 days. Protesters outside the courthouse shouted “we will kill the dog at his home” and “we will slaughter him”. Odendaal was remanded in custody.
