MBOMBELA – The trial of three policemen and a former field ranger of the Kruger National Park was postponed in the Nelspruit Regional Court last Tuesday.
Constables Arnold Mashele, Morris Sehlabela and Dennis Mkhonto appeared in court alongside Mr Phineas Dinda when their case was postponed to March 4 for further investigation.
Lowvelder previously reported that Mashele, Sehlabele and Dinda had been arrested on May 27, 2014. They face charges of performing restricted activities in a national park being the hunting of a rhino and the illegal possession of firearms and ammunition.
Sehlabela, Dinda and Mkhonto attracted much attention when they appealed the White River Magistrate’s decision to deny their respective bail applications last year. These decisions were confirmed by the North Gauteng High Court in October 2014.
The four accused will remain in custody until their next court appearance.
