South Africa – Ayanda Dayi, who was arrested for the brutal murder of two Sasko employees, appeared in court today.
The crime, which shocked the community, was captured on video and trended on Facebook, leading to widespread outrage and his subsequent arrest.
During his court appearance, Dayi requested that proceedings be translated into Xhosa rather than Zulu, emphasizing his need to fully understand the legal process.
He also requested to remain in the hospital due to injuries he sustained while in custody, claiming that returning to jail would worsen his condition.
These injuries reportedly occurred after he was beaten by community members who recognized him from the viral video and knew him personally.
The court, however, denied his request to stay in the hospital, stating that medical professionals would be sent to the prison to assess his condition.
This decision followed a thorough examination of his injuries, which were deemed not severe enough to necessitate a hospital stay.
