Sias remains acquitted in Cremer murder case

THE Western Cape High Court has dismissed the State's appeal to overturn the acquittal of Jeremy Sias for the 2019 murder of Meghan Cremer.

The judgment was handed down on Friday.

It followed after the prosecutor brought the application last month questioning defence witness Linda Mohr's credibility.

Cremer, a showjumper, disappeared on August 3, 2019, and was discovered dead five days later in Philippi.

During the trial, the State argued that Sias broke into Cremer's cottage, killed her and stuffed her body in the boot of her car before getting rid of it.

However, he argued that he found her car abandoned and took it for a joyride before finding her body in the boot and then dumping it.
