Ermelo farmer in court for knocking over two children with car
A 41-year-old Mpumalanga farmer appeared in the Ermelo Magistrate's Court on Wednesday for allegedly knocking over two children with his car.
He also allegedly assaulted a third child.
Louis Johannes Grobler is facing two counts of attempted murder as well as assault with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.
Mpumalanga police spokesperson Donald Mdluli says the children are between the ages of 10 and 13.
“According to the report the suspect, Louis Johannes Grobler, allegedly ran over the two minors and thereafter assaulted the third one after accusing them of theft.
“The matter was then reported to the police, and after an investigation was done the man was immediately arrested the same afternoon.”
The case has been postponed to Friday when Grobler is expected to apply for bail.
