State slammed for 'sloppy' evidence in court case

Yesterday, the State called Captain Phillip Seekoei from the Western Cape Crime and Investigation Services.

His core function is as a Detective Court Case Officer (DCCO) at Wynberg Magistrate Court. Seekoei was called to the stand after he completed the alleged confession made by Steveno van Rhyn.

The court is currently in a trial within a trial as van Rhyn and Jacquen 'Boeta' Appollis claimed to have been assaulted and tortured by police on March 4 and 5, 2024. Earlier in the day, Colonel Eddie Cain testified that he wanted to take the alleged confession of van Rhyn as van Rhyn complained that he was hungry and needed to take medication, and this resulted in the interview being terminated.
