Stanfield trial: Towing witness changes account of who authorised BMW removal
Full story
In the Ralph Stanfield criminal trial, a witness employed by Cape Road Assist altered his testimony during cross‑examination. The witness now tells the Western Cape High Court that he cannot identify the person who authorised the removal of an allegedly stolen BMW. Earlier statements had suggested he knew who gave the order. The change in account may affect the prosecution’s case. The court hearing continues as lawyers assess the impact of the revised testimony.
