While the family of Maximilian Reimann, die jong man van Pacaltsdorp wat in Augustus 2022 wreed aangerand is, sê hulle is diep teleurgesteld oor die uitkoms van die hofsaak waarin al ses mans wat van die aanranding aangekla is, onskuldig bevind is, berei die vrygespreekte mans nou voor om regstappe teen die Staat te neem.

Six assault-accused acquitted

Hul regsverteenwoordiger, Winston Jansen, wou in hierdie stadium nie uitbrei nie.

Die Reimann-familie sê die afgelope jare was uiters uitdagend vir hulle, en die onlangse besluit het hulle met die gevoel gelaat dat geregtigheid nie geskied het nie.

“Ons sukkel steeds met die trauma van die poging tot moord en roof, en hierdie uitkoms dra net by tot ons pyn. Ten spyte hiervan bly ons dankbaar teenoor almal wat ons gedurende hierdie uitdagende tyd ondersteun het. Ons vra vir privaatheid terwyl ons hierdie gebeure verwerk en probeer om as 'n gesin aan te beweeg,” het Nellie Reimann, Maximilian se ma, Maandagoggend, 20 Oktober, aan George Herald gesê.

“Ons sukkel steeds met die trauma van die poging tot moord en roof, en hierdie uitkoms dra net by tot ons pyn.”

Dit volg op die George Streekshof se uitspraak en vryspraak op Donderdag 16 Oktober. Chaywin van Niekerk, Shannen-Lee Botha, Jody Botha, Sheldon Remas, Ethan Bevie en Chadwill Kiewiet was almal in aanhouding sedert kort ná die voorval, totdat hulle op 16 Oktober vrygelaat is toe die hof hulle onskuldig bevind het.
