Juveniles change plea

The Friend has learned that two of the three juveniles charged with the vicious attacks last year on the late Mrs Helena Marincowitz and Mr Jack Botha have in recent days changed their pleas from guilty to not guilty. The third accused has received a sentence of eight years, five of which have been suspended. According to Superintendent Masola of the Prince Albert police, all three are being held in Huis Outeniqua in George, the only place of safety for juveniles in this part of the Cape.
