It has been two years since the death of four school kids from Protea North in the hands of Molemo "Jub Jub" maarohanye and co- accussed Themba Tshabalala. The two were drag-racing in March 2010 in their mini coopers where they crashed into schoolchildren killing four boys and leaving two more seriously injured, a reconstruction expert said the two accussed were driving at 109km/h and 112km/h in a 60km/h zone which resulted in near-decapitation in one of the victims.
A blood sample taken from the two accussed showed that they under the influence of drugs and Themba Tshabalala was also driving under the influece of alcohol. When Magistrate Brian Nemavhidi handed down the judgement he recalled on how Maarohanye's side of the story contradicted when he said he heard a loud bang as Tshabalala's car hit the rear of his car causing him to hit a curb and a tree. The two are charged with murder, attemped murder reckless driving and driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol, judgement was handed down from wednesday when the judge summarised the witnesses testimonies everyone was pleased when judgement finally was handed down saying the trial had dragged long enough and one of the victims family member fainted. both were remanded in custody and sentencing will take place in 30 November.
