Kempton Park – Murder accused appears in Kempton Park Regional Court Werner Kluge appeared in the Kempton Park Regional Court on July 16. Kluge, who is accused of murder, had his case postponed to July 23 for a formal bail application. During proceedings, Kluge’s legal representative objected to media coverage, arguing that his client was uncomfortable with photographs of him circulating on social media. In response, the magistrate noted that the matter was of public interest and found the objection to be insufficient. The court subsequently granted permission for media photographs to be taken. The court appearance follows the fatal shooting of a 34-year-old man at a property in Van Riebeeck Park on July 14. According to the SAPS, officers were patrolling the Norkem Park area at about 10:17 when they were alerted to the shooting by an employee at the property. On arrival, police found six spent cartridges and blood at the scene. The victim had already been transported to Arwyp Medical Centre by relatives, where he later succumbed to his injuries. “Preliminary investigations indicated that the alleged suspect arrived at the property in Van Riebeeck Park and allegedly called the victim outside before opening fire,” said Norkem Park SAPS spokesperson Portia Mkhondo. The victim sustained gunshot wounds to his left arm, near his chest, and upper body. Mkhondo confirmed that a murder case was opened and that Kluge was subsequently arrested. The motive for the shooting has not yet been established. Police investigations are ongoing. Kluge was remanded in custody until his next appearance in court. #kemptonpark #TiktokNews #localnews #kemptonexpress #crimetok #Crime #incourt #court
