Anton Bouwer: Case postponed to February 16

Bouwer is excepted to make a formal bail application when he appears in Kempton Park Regional Court again in two weeks.

The case against murder accused, Anton Bouwer was postponed in the Kempton Park Regional Court.

He will make his next appearance on February 16 for his formal bail application.

He was remanded in custody.

Media were denied any form of photography in court today but were granted permission to photograph before proceedings on February 16.

Bouwer stands accused of killing his parents Bettie (73) and Robert (78) Bouwer on January 22 at their house in Bredell.

He is also accused of killing his stepdaughter Natasha Bouwer (22) and domestic worker Elizabeth Mahlangu (56) at a house in Fairleads, Benoni, on the same day.

Bouwer will additionally face one charge of attempted murder for the shooting of his wife, Adelle.

Speaking outside court this afternoon, the lawyer for Adelle said no funeral arrangement had been made for the deceased.

She also could not comment on whether her client (Adelle) was still in hospital.

Earlier this week, the Kempton Express submitted an application for photography in court.

The application as well as those from other media houses were accepted at the court but officials indicated the Bouwer’s lawyer may content the applications.

Kempton Express journalist Mthokozisi Majola spoke to France Mahlangu, brother of murdered domestic worker, Elizabeth Mahlangu outside court.

“Being here to see the man who murdered my sister makes me very emotional. It is going to be my first time seeing him,” he said.

Mahlangu added that the entire Mahlangu family wants the accused to pay for what he has done.
