Police investigate Terre'Blanche sexual assault on farm workers

[LoZoccolo]

South African police are investigating allegations that the white supremacist Eugene Terre'Blanche was killed after attempting to sexually assault two male workers on his farm.

A lawyer for one of the two suspects was quoted todayas saying that the two accused men acted in self-defence after Terre'Blanche plied them with alcohol and made sexual advances.

Puna Moroko, attorney for 28-year-old Chris Mahlangu, told South Africa's Sunday Times newspaper: "My instructions from my client are that there was some sodomy going on and it sparked the murder of Mr Terre'Blanche. This is going to form part of our defence during trial."

Moroko added that Terre'Blanche had plied both workers with alcohol and tried to have sex "with one or both" of them.

1. Self-defense? Let's see how this'll work in court.

Terreblanche's served prison time before for assault/attempted murder, so maybe the workers' story has some credibility.

But then again I wonder: how did OJ Simpson get acquitted of murder despite his past history of domestic violence against his wife?
