Jeppestown case on hold

2007-01-12 12:22

Johannesburg - The case against 16 murder accused arrested after the Jeppestown shootout last year was postponed at the Roodepoort Magistrate's Court on Friday.

The case was postponed to allow for further investigation.

Four policemen and eight suspected robbers were killed in the shootout in June last year.

Those arrested had allegedly held up a Pick 'n Pay supermarket before fleeing to an abandoned house in Jeppestown in central Johannesburg.

The shootout resulted in the deaths of Inspectors Frederick "Frikkie" van Heerden, 32, Nzama Victor Mathye, 49, both of the West Rand dog unit; Sergeant Gert Schoeman, 30, of the West Rand emergency response service; and Constable Peter Francois Seaward, 31, of the Johannesburg dog unit.

Van Heerden's wife, Inspector Leoni van Heerden, and another police officer were injured.

The 16 would reappear in court on March 2.
