A man who allegedly murdered his wife with an axe and buried her in another person’s grave in Soshanguve did not appear in the Pretoria North District Court on Thursday, as he had been sent to Weskoppies Psychiatric Hospital earlier this month. Godfrey Macheke (37) was arrested in January last year.
A man accused of holding several staff members of the Pretoria News hostage was on Thursday declared fit to stand trial. A report by the Weskoppies Psychiatric Hospital was handed up at the Pretoria Magistrate’s Court, stating 33-year-old Lionel George from Danville would understand the court proceedings and was able to contribute meaningfully to his defence.
