ALMOST a year after the fateful Saturday when Brett Williams was beaten to death after a rugby match at Kings Park Stadium, the four men charged with his murder appeared in court this morning.
The regional court magistrate Trevor Levitt and court officials, together with the media did an in loco inspection of the site to ensure that the magistrate and attorneys were familiar with the location of the incident and rough measurements between the different locations as well as where witnesses were in relation to the scene of the crime.
The legal teams walked across the outside grounds towards the Sharks supporters’ club and Jonsson College Rovers Club and to various points outside the stadium.
The group noted the Rovers Club where a verbal argument between Cramer and his girlfriend had taken place in the vicinity of the club. The group spent much time around the Sharks supporters Club and the tractor shed and pump house where the body of Williams was found facing east.
Brothers Blayne and Kyle Shepard of Umbilo and their friends, Andries van der Merwe and Dustin van Wyk are charged with the murder of Brett Williams, a former Royal Marine whose ship was docked in Durban at the time of his death.
Berea Mail reporter Lorna Charles is in court and will update as the trial progresses.
