The suspect was treated at Groblersdal Hospital for a gunshot wound sustained in the attack on Mr Henning Joubert (53), on the farm of his parents in-law on April 1.<\/p>\n

The suspect was later transferred to another hospital for a possible operation, but the hospital released him.<\/p>\n

He has since disappeared and has failed to appear in court last Thursday on a charge of murder.<\/p>\n

Police arrested the suspect on the murder scene, after Mr Joubert succeeded in wounding the man, who had stabbed him multiple times with a knife.<\/p>\n

Mr Joubert died in the arms of his wife, Marlene, who witnessed her husband’s murder.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Similarly, there will be no justice for slain Pierre de Necker who was killed by a vigilante mob in Belfast on July 8.<\/p>\n

Four suspects were arrested and questioned in connection with the beating of Mr De Necker, for his apparent involvement in a car theft.<\/p>\n

Mr De Necker was beaten so badly, that his brain was visible through his fractured skull.<\/p>\n

The state prosecutor however decided not to charge the suspects, due to a lack of evidence.<\/p>\n
