Local gynaecologist Dr Danie van der Walt was found guilty on charges of manslaughter yesterday.
This ruling was handed down on Wednesday, September 21.
After more than five hours of probing into every shred of evidence brought in front of her, Magistrate Merlene Greyvenstein ruled that Dr Van der Walt neglected to take steps to stop his patient, the late Pamela Daweti (23), from bleeding to death.
This happened 10 years ago after Pamela gave birth to her firstborn.
Ms Greyvenstein was assisted by Dr Christiaan Sevenster, who was appointed as the expert assessor.
Dr Van der Walt was warned to be back in court on November 10 for sentencing.
