Bees case mystery deepens

Pretoria –
The mystery around the murder case against Blue Bulls prop Bees Roux deepened on
Saturday.
There were still many questions around what had
happened exactly the night sergeant Johannes Mogale, 38, died – as well as
about allegations made by Roux on the same evening.
Roux's agent, James Adams, denied that Roux had been
at the strip-club Flamingo's on the night of the incident, as was earlier
reported.
The club's owner, Pieter Crous, also denied that Roux
had been there. He said there was no visual proof that Roux had been at the
club. A dancer apparently said she had seen someone who "looked like
Bees" but this man had tattoos, which Roux didn't have.
Police also still had to investigate who allegedly
used Roux's credit card at a McDonald's restaurant while he was being held in
police cells.
During the past week, a court heard witnesses testifying
how they heard Roux screaming to bystanders to call the police while the
alleged assault on Mogale took place. Roux claimed he was the victim of theft
and robbery and had acted in self-defence.
Executive mayor of Tshwane, Dr Gwen Ramokgopa, asked
on Saturday at Mogale's funeral in Shakung in North West that people leave the matter to
the courts.
