High Court upholds father and son's seven-year sentences for brutal axe attack
Cape Times
|November 17, 2025
AN OUDTSHOORN father and son who brutally attacked a man with an axe and panga, leaving him permanently paralysed, have failed in their bid to overturn their seven-year sentences.
Their sentence appeals were both dismissed in the Western Cape High Court. The pair, who also faced the possibility of their seven-year sentences being increased after they took their sentence on appeal, were on trial and convicted at the Oudtshoorn Regional Court.
Marcelino Goliath and Piet Sederstroom both pleaded not guilty to one count of attempted murder. They brutally assaulted Henry Coetzee on August 22, 2021, at Bridgton when they unlawfully and intentionally attempted to murder him with an axe and a panga.
