Goldin, Bloom's last hours ...
Cape Town - The pieces of the puzzle about the last hours of actor Brett Goldin and his friend Richard Bloom started falling into place on Monday.
Details emerged from the plea bargains of Jade Wyngaard, 19, and Nurshad David, 18, which were handed in at the Wynberg magistrate's court.
The victims' families supported the plea bargains.
According to statements, the men were overpowered in front of a mansion in Camps Bay and forced into a car before being taken to the cable-car station road on Table Mountain, where they were made to undress and bundled into the boot.
According to the statements of Wyngaard and David, it was not known where they were murdered.
As part of the plea bargain, which reached the State on Friday, Wyngaard and David will testify for the State against the remaining two accused, Clinton Davids, 22, and Shavaan Marlie, 25.
Second plea bargain
Wyngaard and David pleaded guilty to robbery with extenuating circumstances, kidnapping, the possession of a firearm and ammunition and the possession of a dangerous weapon.
They were sentenced to 15 years' imprisonment, of which three years were suspended for five years.
Sapa reports the State announced another plea bargain in the case on Monday.
Radio station Cape Talk reported that Zubair Davids and Yazeed Eyssen were sentenced to two years' jail each on charges of vehicle theft, and possession of stolen goods and an unlicensed gun and ammunition.
They were warned that the plea bargain was conditional on their giving evidence against Clinton Davids and Marlie, who will appear in court again on August 18.
It is not yet known whether they intend to apply for bail.
Wyngaard's statement said he and Clinton Davids, Marlie, and David left the city centre and towards Camps Bay in Marlie's BMW on the night of April 15.
According to court documents they were on their way to steal a vehicle.
Wyngaard and Marlie both had 9mm CZ 75 semi-automatics.
Between midnight and 00:15 the four men noticed Bloom and Goldin in Victoria Road, Camps Bay.
Clinton Davids apparently ordered the other three to rob Bloom and Goldin. They all got out of the car and Clinton Davids threatened the victims with a gun.
Wyngaard searched one of the men, while Clinton Davids and Marlie searched the other one.
They took the men's personal belongings, including cellphones, keys and Bloom's car.
Forced to strip near cable station
They left in Bloom's car as well as the BMW. The victims were in the BMW driven by Marlie.
On the way to the cable station, they pulled both vehicles off the road.
Clinton Davids ordered the men to undress.
"They were wearing only their socks and most of their clothes were thrown off the mountain side," the statement said.
Wyngaard said Clinton Davids asked him to help tie up the victims, but Wyngaard's cellphone started ringing and a shot went off by accident.
The gun was handed to Clinton Davids.
The victims' hands were tied by Clinton Davids, and the victims were forced into the boot of Bloom's car, before the suspects drove to Kilda Street in Crawford, the statement said.
That was the last time they referred to Goldin and Bloom.

Twee lewens vir een wapen . . .
VREDE. – Twee vermoor vir een vuurwapen.
Dié droewige prentjie spreek van die nuutste Oos-Vrystaatse plaasaanval.
Supt. Veronica Ntepe, polisiewoordvoerder, sê ’n veewagter het gisteroggend op die lyk van mnr. Kobus van Tonder (78), voorheen ’n stoetteler van Vlaamse perde van die plaas Merino buite die dorp, afgekom. Die lyk was by sy verlate bakkie in die veld. Hy het ’n koeëlwond in die kop gehad.
Later het die polisie die lyk van sy vrou, Charlotte (68), by die agterdeur gekry. Sy is vermoedelik met ’n skêr doodgesteek.
Die egpaar, wat alleen op die plaas, sowat 8 km buite die dorp teen ’n heuwel gewoon het, was glo “baie private mense”.
Die egpaar se seun, Hancke, sê hulle woon sowat 30 jaar in dié ruim plaashuis met ses slaapkamers.
Hy sê sy pa was veral in die jare sewentig ’n gesiene stoetteler.
Ntepe sê die vermoede bestaan die egpaar is die naweek reeds vermoor, maar eers gister gekry.
Die feit dat hoenders, makoue en ganse nie meer water in hul waterbakkies gehad het nie, dui daarop.
Gistermiddag was die plaasopstal, afgesien van verskeie polisiemotors en ’n span polisiespoorsnyers van Theunissen, ’n toneel van sombere verlatenheid.
Lede van die polisie se eenheid teen ernstige en geweldsmisdaad op Bethlehem, asook speurders van Vrede, was op die toneel.
Net die egpaar se hond, Bruno, het histeries voor die voordeur geblaf.
Van Tonder jr., wat aan die hond goed bekend is, kon hom met moeite kalmeer.
Na verneem word, het die egpaar nie vaste personeel op die plaas nie, maar hul gebruik was om stukwerkers aan te stel.
Hulle het twee werkers in diens gehad.
Ntepe sê die aanvallers het vermoedelik deur ’n oop deur van ’n stoepkamer toegang tot die huis verkry. Teen druktyd het sy gesê slegs Van Tonder se vuurwapen is gebuit.
Van Tonder jr. sê hy wil hê mense moet sy ouers onthou soos hulle was – beginselvaste, standvastige mense.
Die streekverteenwoordiger van Vrystaat Landbou in dié gebied, mnr. Johann van Niekerk, sê die moorde is onaanvaarbaar.
Van Niekerk, wat op die oomblik elders jag, sê ons leef in ’n wettelose land. “Wanneer ’n mens weggaan, is jy só bekommerd oor jou mense wat agterbly.”
Die egpaar word oorleef deur twee ander seuns, J.P. van Bethal, André wat nog in Wallis is, mev. Rolien Kleynhans van Sasolburg en ses kleinkinders.
Begrafnisreëlings is nog nie getref nie. Ntepe sê ’n nadoodse ondersoek word gedoen.
Niemand is nog aangekeer nie. Mense met inligting kan insp. Gert van der Merwe, ondersoekbeampte, by 084-670-5193 bel.

Babamoord: ‘Hof is mislei’
KAAPSTAD. – Die hoofondersoekbeampte in die baba Jordan-Leigh Norton-moordsaak “het doelbewus (verskeie) howe mislei net om die saak te kan wen”.
Adv. John van der Berg, vir me. Dina Rodrigues (24), vermeende baasbrein agter dié opspraakwekkende moord, het gister hier in die hooggeregshof gesê hy sal aan die einde van die saak só argumenteer.
Van der Berg het kapt. Esmerald Bailey, ondersoekbeampte, gister in kruisverhoor in ’n binneverhoor bloed laat sweet en laat erken sy het die hof en die laerhowe, waar Rodrigues se borgtogaansoek was, doelbewus mislei.
Gister se verrigtinge in ’n volgepakte hofsaal was deel van ’n binneverhoor wat moet bepaal of selfone en SIM-kaarte waarop op 9 Augustus verlede jaar met ’n “onwettige lasbrief” by Rodrigues se huis in Sunset Beach beslag gelê is, as getuienis toegelaat moet word.
Rodrigues en mnre. Sipho Mfazwe (32), Mongezi Bobotyane (24), Zanethemba Gwada (18) en ’n 16-jarige seun ontken Rodrigues het hulle R10 000 aangebied om die ses maande oue babameisie op 15 Junie verlede jaar in haar ouerhuis in Lansdowne te vermoor. Rodrigues het ten tyde van die moord op die baba ’n verhouding met mnr. Neil Wilson, die kind se biologiese pa, gehad.
In kruisverhoor het Van der Berg aan Bailey gesê sy kliënt is al agt maande in die gevangenis omdat Bailey ’n landdros oortuig het sy is deur selfoonrekords oortuig dat Rodrigues dreigende SMS’e, wat teen haar borgtogvoorwaardes was, aan Wilson gestuur het.
“Is dit nie waar dat verteenwoordigers van selfoondiensverskaffers in die verhoor getuig het dat inligting van selfone wat SMS’e stuur nie op hul selfoondata gesien kan word nie? Hoekom het jy dan in die laerhowe en in ’n hersieningsaansoek in dié hof getuig dat jy oortuig is dit verskyn daarop?”
Bailey het dit bevestig en gesê sy was destyds onder die indruk dat dié inligting wel op die data verskyn.
“Aanvaar jy dus dat al jou stellings in beëdigde verklarings daaroor onwaar is?” Bailey het saamgestem.
Van der Berg het haar gevra of sy bewus was dat die uitvoering van die onwettige lasbrief daartoe sou lei dat sy kliënt se borgtog gekanselleer word en dat dit ’n baie ernstige kwessie is as iemand van sy vryheid ontneem word. Bailey het gesê sy was bewus daarvan, maar dat sy oortuig was die lasbrief was geldig.
Sy het egter erken sy het nooit die betrokke lasbrief gelees nie en dit uitgevoer sonder om op te let dat die belangrikste inligting – oor wat gesoek word – nie daarop ingevul was nie.
Van der Berg wou ook weet waarom Bailey die laerhowe mislei het deur te sê dat sy op Rodrigues se bankstate beslag gelê het, om te sien of daar groot bedrae tydens die moord onttrek is, terwyl sy dit nooit gedoen het nie. Sy kon nie ’n verduideliking gee nie.
“Ek sal aan die einde van die saak argumenteer dat jy doelbewus onwaar getuienis aan die howe gelewer het om die saak te kan wen,” het Van der Berg aan Bailey gesê. Sy het dit ontken.
Regter Basheer Waglay lewer môre uitspraak in die binneverhoor.

'Age won't save young killers'
Pietermaritzburg - Two judges sitting in adjacent courts sentenced four men on Tuesday - one for the murder of a Boston woman stabbed 31 times in her farmhouse, and three others for the robbery and murder of a Cedarville farmer.
KwaZulu-Natal Judge-President Vuka Tshabalala said killings on farms gave South Africa a bad name and hit the economy, while Judge Leona Theron said farmers were seen as soft targets.
Boston farmer's wife, Jacqueline Chatterton, 46, was stabbed by two men who broke into her home at night while her husband James went outside to switch off a pump.
He was locked out while she was attacked in the house.
She was stabbed several times in the back, including 11 times in her lungs, while running to the farmer's radio alert.
Eventually when her husband got into the house she was on the floor and gasped: "I'm bad. I'm bad".
She was put into a car and rushed to hospital in Pietermaritzburg, but died on the way.
On May 22, a former employee of the Chattertons, David Ndlovu, 22, pleaded guilty to her murder and was jailed for life by acting Judge Nompumulelo Hadebe.
Ndlovu was arrested in the Chatterton home by farmers in response to a May-day call on the farmers' radio.
Ndlovu's accomplice, Thuthukami Miya, 22, pleaded not guilty and their trials were separated.
On Tuesday, Miya was jailed for life by Judge Tshabalala who said that if Ndlovu had been arrested in the Chatterton home by other citizens he would have been killed on the spot.
Meanwhile, in the other case, Judge Theron said some of the most heinous and brutal offences were committed by young offenders, but they would not be allowed to hide behind their youth and plead for leniency.
Two of the three killers of Cedarville farmer Christiaan Colin Moolman, 38, were 19 years old.
The State said the killers saw Moolman drive away from his farm on June 1 2004.
Shot him dead with his own guns
At knifepoint, they robbed his gardener, broke into the Moolman house and waited for his return.
They stole his rifle and shotgun and, when he came back, he was fatally shot.
Judge Theron sentenced Nkosipendule Ludidi, 19, to an effective 25 years' jail for Moolman's murder and aggravated housebreaking and illegal weapon offences.
She handed life sentences to Andile Ludidi, 26, and Bukhosigakhe Ntuli, 19.

Goldin's mum unhappy with sentences
The mother of slain actor Brett Goldin has told 702 Eyewitness News she would have liked to see those linked to her son's death receive harsher sentences.
Four of the six men accused of the execution-style murders of actor Brett Goldin and designer Richard Bloom, have struck deals with the state.
Jade Wyngaard and Nurshad David pleaded guilty to robbery with extenuating circumstances, kidnapping and possession of a firearm. They were sentenced to 15 years in jail.
Zubair Davids and Yazeed Eyssen were sentenced to two years in jail each.
The remaining two men will now face charges of murder. Goldin and Bloom's bodies were found next to the M5 highway in Athlone in Cape Town, on Easter Monday.
Goldin's mother Denise said the family trusts the prosecution team, and that they hoped that justice would be served.

SA cops solve murder mystery
Johannesburg - The most-puzzling murders in South African criminal history - of politician Dr Robert Smit and his wife, Jeanne-Cora, in Springs - have been solved.
Three suspects, all former members of the security police and task force, have been fingered as the murderers after years of intensive investigative work.
Beeld is in the position to reveal exclusively, after discussions with high-level sources in the intelligence community, the names of the three suspects.
Phil Freeman was a member of the security police who committed suicide in Cape Town in 1990. He regularly used the alias McDougall.
Smit had an entry in his diary with a McDougall for the evening of the murders.
The investigation revealed that a parcel with two Italian stiletto knives and with Freeman's address on it was delivered to a police office in Cape Town shortly before the murders.
Jeanne-Cora was stabbed 14 times with such a knife.
Dries "Krullebol" Verwey was a member of the task force.
He developed a drinking problem after the murders and "tended to have a loose tongue when he was drunk".
His body was later found in Port Elizabeth.
Officially, his death was regarded as suicide, but investigators are convinced that he was murdered.
Although he was right-handed, the bullet wound was in his left temple.
The name of the third suspect is known to Beeld, but, because he is still alive, is being withheld on legal advice. He is now referred to simply as RA.
This man, also a member of the security police, fled to Australia when the net was closing in on him.
Huge secret bank accounts
According to Beeld's source, this man had "a masochistic fetish" and whenever he was involved in dubious activities, he would leave his initials, RA, in spray paint at the scene.
This explains the letters RAU TEM, which were found in spray paint on the kitchen wall in the Smit house after the murders.
Beeld also can reveal that the "only motive" that can be brought to bear on the Smit murders and the three suspects was information that Smit had gathered huge secret bank accounts held by the government of the time in several overseas countries.
Billions of rands in taxpayers' money was in these accounts - altogether there were 15 - from which front organisations of the government were financed.
The accounts were in, among others places, Bern, Geneva and Zurich.
Smit, who was a National Party candidate in Springs in the election that was held a few days after the murder, apparently had been planning to reveal this information and "he had to be silenced at all costs".
Beeld presented all the information regarding the Smit murders to Tori Pretorius, a national prosecuting authority advocate who is in charge of the investigation into the Smit murders.
"I cannot correct anything that you are saying," was his reaction.
He added that he was not willing to admit or deny anything.
Extradition bid being delayed
He did say, however, that a serious shortage of investigators was delaying the work of the prosecuting authority.
Beeld's intelligence source says one of the reasons why application has not yet been made for RA's extradition from Australia is that certain statements still have to be taken.
A report by Hennie van Vuuren of the Institute for Security Studies into apartheid-era corruption, released on Monday, linked Smit's murder to his knowledge of a secret bank account, and quoted a friend as saying he was planning to "drop a bombshell".
