The defence in the trial of slain Gqeberha woman, Vicki Terblanche, has wrapped up its cross examination of murder accused, Reinhardt Leach in the Gqeberha High Court in the Eastern Cape.

Leach, who is Vicky’s former boyfriend, together with Vicky’s estranged husband, Arnold Terblanche, are facing a murder charge and conspiracy to commit murder.

Their trials are being held separately.

Leach gave his account of the murder insisting that it was the third accused turned-state witness, Dylan Cullis, and not him who smothered Vicky with a pillow after their plan to overdose her fell apart.
