Constable Johan van der Merwe returned to the Wynberg Regional Court yesterday nearly two months after he was convicted for the murder of Marlon Fuller.

The 38-year-old dad died in December 2020 after being struck in the abdomen when Van der Merwe fired a shotgun into a crowd.

His death sparked a riot as angry mense accused cops of opening fire for no reason while trying to disperse the crowd.
