Today Donovan Moodley got to be just Donovan, Donovan the offender and not Donovan the aggressive, anxious lawyer fighting his own case. And for the first time he came clean and told the whole story of the murder of Leigh Matthews.
These were the words of Moodleys lawyer Mohammed Yusuf Razak shortly after a newly constituted parole board, put together specifically to hear Moodleys case, recommended him for release.
Now finally, seven years after qualifying for parole, Mr Moodley was able to take the board into his confidence and convince them that he should be released.
