NATIONAL NEWS - A neurologist is on the stand this morning in the Van Breda trial in the Western Cape High Court.
Dr James Butler is the defence’s sixth witness and diagnosed triple murder accused Henri van Breda of having a condition called juvenile myoclonic epilepsy after the 23-year-old had a seizure two weeks ago.
Van Breda stands accused of the murder of his parents and older brother and the attempted murder of his younger sister in their Stellenbosch home in January 2015.
Butler took the Western Cape High Court through the symptoms of a patient suffering from non-epileptic seizures.
