One of the most famous rapists and murderers of South Africa, Tabo Bester, started courts to block Netflix from broadcasting a documentary about his life – including how he allegedly forged death and escape from prison.
His lawyers claimed that beauty and the boron were defamatory, but the streaming giant defended his plan to release a three -part investigation.
Bustera’s partner, Doctor of Nandif Magoduman’s celebrities, in a documentary, allegedly helped him escape. It is included in court to stop the release.
It is expected that the Supreme Court will issue a ruling about 30 minutes before the scheduled documentary issue of the world audience on Friday.
Bester was convicted in 2012 for raping and murdering his friend Nomfund Tihul’s girlfriend.
A year earlier, he was found guilty of raping and robbing two other women.
Bester became known as “rapist on Facebook” for using the social networking site to lure his victims.
He was serving a life imprisonment when he allegedly escaped from the maximum security in 2022.
The fire broke out in prison, and the authorities found the burnt bodies, which, in their opinion, considered Bester. However, it turned out to be another person.
Then it was not detected during the year, Leter allegedly lived under a pseudonym in the city of South Africa, Johannesburg, and helped his partner.
The couple was arrested during a run in the East African state of Tanzania in April 2023 and was deported.
At present, they are in custody, waiting for a trial on several accusations – including violation of the corpse, defeating the ends of justice and fraud.
They have not yet admitted the allegations.
Bustera’s lawyer, lawyer Moafrick Val, said the documentary violated his right to a fair trial.
“There is no evidence that he has escaped. He has not yet been convicted. There are many reasons for which a person is no longer in prison, such as parole. The documentary is a court court from a kangaroo,” he said in court, South Africa’s website reports.
The defender also claimed that the name of the documentary “Beauty and” Bester “were defamatory and were deliberately designed to expose their client as” beast “, local radio East Coast reports.
The Netflix legal representative, the timbek defender NGKukaitobi, told the court that a series of three parts gives the victims a long -defecation.
“This documentary gives the victims to Taba Bester Platform, which can be heard after many years of silence. The silence of the film is silent again,” said the NGCukaytobi defender.
Judge Sullet Potteril asked Netflix if he intended to release a documentary and said he would make his ruling shortly before.
Busteur’s alleged escape made international headlines and caused indignation in South Africa, which has one of the highest pace of sexual attack in the world.
