The Public Prosecution Service has expanded the suspicion against the 36-year-old man who was arrested following the explosion at Schammenkamp. The man is also suspected of causing an explosion resulting in death.
The NFI has investigated the cause of the explosion. This has led to the expansion of the charges.
On January 29, 2024, an explosion occurred in the evening in a business space on the ground floor of the complex. Three people lost their lives, and the devastation was enormous. Several homes and other business spaces were severely damaged and rendered unusable. Shortly thereafter, the tenant of the business space where the explosion occurred was arrested. He had previously been suspected of involvement in the production of narcotics. That accusation has now been expanded.
Preliminary Hearing
At this time, no new hearing date is known. A preliminary hearing is being planned. The defense will then have the opportunity to formulate research requests.
