SIAS APPEAL DISMISSED

THE Western Cape High Court last week 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 after the State brought the application last month, questioning defence witness Linda Mohr's credibility.

Cremer, a showjumper, disappeared on 3 August 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.
