TAZNÉ VAN WYK: ‘BRING BACK DEATH PENALTY’, CHANTS 1 500 PROTESTERS
Emotions run high TARRYN-LEIGH SOLOMONS @tarryns07
G
oodwood police are anticipating another big crowd when the man accused of the kidnapping and murder of Tazné van Wyk makes his second court appearance on Friday 17 April. Emotions were running high outside
Goodwood magistrate’s court on Friday 21 February as Moyhdian Pangkaeker (54) made his first appearance. Outside court, about 1 500 supporters gathered, chanting for the death penalty to be brought back. They chased after a police van transporting another suspect, thinking it was Pangkaeker. “Fortunately there were no incidents
which needed police action. We cordoned off a section of Voortrekker Road, from the court until Hugo Street as we expected a big turnout of people. “We are however anticipating a bigger turnout when he makes his next appearance,” said police spokesperson Capt Waynne Theunis. On Friday 21 February, Pangkaeker en-
tered the packed court showing visible injuries which he claimed were inflicted by police. Her parents, Terence Manuel and Carmen van Wyk, stood motionless as the man who had allegedly taken their eight-year-old daughter’s life stood less than ten metres away from them. V To page 2
