The case of Czech fugitive Radovan Krejcir and five others taking place in the Palm Ridge Magistrate’s Court was postponed on Wednesday, August 13.
Magistrate Colin Lamont agreed to have the matter postponed to allow new witness, Captain Bongani Gininida, to find his official police diary.
Ms Annelene van den Heever, the lawyer for Desai Luphondo and Krejcir, believed the diary would have information which would prove Luphondo was assaulted.
The court heard allegations that policemen who arrested Luphondo on November 22 last year, had assaulted him and influenced him into a confession.
Cap Gininida had taken down the confession and testified that Luphondo had denied being assaulted or being forced into making the statement.
Ms Van den Heever objected to Luphondo’s confession being entered in as evidence earlier last week.
Krejcir, Luphondo, Warrant Officers Samuel Saddam Maropeng and George Nthoroane, Jan Lefu Mofokeng, and Siboniso Miya, face charges of kidnapping, attempted murder and dealing in drugs.
