Making her ruling at the Better Hope Community Centre Ground where Sparendaam Magistrate’s Court cases are temporarily being heard, the magistrate found that there was not enough evidence against Samaroo and David and told them that they were free to go.

Millington, Narine and McKenzie she found guilty of all five charges. The three will return to court on June 23 for sentencing.
