Double murder accused 'had trafficking fear'

COURT Ruth Lawrence

- 

A DOUBLE MURDER accused feared she would become a victim of human trafficking and had stayed in South African women's refuges, a pastor told her trial yesterday.

The 12 jurors were also told Ruth Lawrence's boyfriend Neville van der Westhuizen is serving a 15-year sentence in Westville Prison in Durban.

He was convicted in 2020 on six counts of kidnapping, attempted murder and the murder.
