A state witness has testified that he used a .303 rifle on the night that he and his boss shot two women who were scavenging for expired food on a Limpopo farm and then tossed their bodies into a pigsty.
Adrian Rudolph de Wet, 21, a state witness in the murders of Maria Makgato, 45, and Locadia Ndlovu, 34, told the Polokwane high court: Yes, I am the only one who used the point 303 rifle. On the night it was dark, but I could see figures of people approaching. I shouldered the rifle, closed off one eye and aimed at the people.
The two women were part of a group who went to Zacharia Johannes Oliviers pig farm to scavenge for expired food that was regularly dumped there by a Clover truck.
