Inge Lotz Murder: 11th hour surprise

The defence shocked the court today by asking the Cape High Court to allow Fred van der Vyver to testify in his own defence. This surprise move comes in the middle of the defence’s final arguments.
The defence is yet to release a statement as to why they have decided on this at the final stages of the trial.
In many other cases, this move is usually decided on by the accused and is usually against the direction or advice of the defence team.
I will keep you all updated as I get further information on this.
The case was postponed to October 16 when the application will be argued, if it is opposed by the state.
