Adrian de Wet is one of the three men judged for the crime, after Maria Makgato, 45, and Lucia Ndlovu, 34, were killed while looking for food on a farm near Polokwane, in the province of Northern South Africa last year, according to the BBC.

Their bodies would then have been given to pigs, apparently to destroy the samples.

By Wet, 20 years old, he became a witness to the accusation at the beginning of the trial, on Monday, and claims that the owner of the farm, Zachariah Johannes Olivier, was the one who shot and killed the two women.

Makgato and Ndlovu were looking for dairy products close to expiration, left to pigs when they were killed.

By Wet, who was a supervisor at the farm, he will confess that he was forced, under threat, to throw the bodies in the pigs, according to the statements of the prosecutor and his lawyer.

If the court will accept his testimony, all the charges against him will be withdrawn. The case has aroused indignation throughout South Africa, fueling racial stresses in the country.

Such tensions are particularly present in rural areas, despite the fact that the racist regime has ended more than 30 years ago.

Most private agricultural lands are still in the hands of a white minority, while workers on farms are mostly color and poorly paid – a situation that supplies resentments among the color population, while many white farmers complain about high crime.

William Musora, 50, another worker on the farm, is the third accused. He and Olivier, 60 years old, have not yet presented their pleadings and remain in preventive arrest.

The three men are also accused of attempted murder, after being fired on Luciei Ndlovu's husband, who was with the two women on the farm, as well as holding a weapon and obstructing justice, for the alleged throw of the corpses in the pig, in an attempt to hide the evidence.

Musora, a citizen of Zimbabwe, also faces an additional accusation based on the law of immigration in South Africa, being considered illegal immigrant.

The Supreme Court of Limpopo was full of supporters and relatives of the victims before the hearings began. Among those present was the wife of Olivier, who was first of all of the public gallery and was seen wiping her tears.

Members of the Freedom Fighters (EFF) economic party were also present, who previously requested the farm to close.

The process was postponed for next week.
