CRIMINOLOGIST SAYS DOG HANDLERS MUST SERVE SENTENCE IN COMMUNITY.
A criminologist testifying in the trial of four North East Rand dog handlers on Friday conceded that the use of illegal immigrants as bait to train dogs would probably have continued, had it not been for the video footage being shown on international television. Criminologist Dr Irma Labuschagne said that three of the accused --Inspector Lodewyk Christiaan Koch, 32, Sergeant Robert Benjamin Henzen, 32, and Sergeant Eugene Werner Truter, 28, -- were unlikely to have shown remorse or to have developed insight into how wrong their actions were, if it had not been for the video. Koch, Henzen, Truter and Sergeant Jacobus Peter Smith, 30, on Monday pleaded guilty and were convicted on charges of assault with the intent to do grievous bodily harm. Henzen and Truter were in addition convicted on a charge of attempting to defeat the ends of justice by making a false entry into the dog register in which they claimed the dogs were used on the illegal immigrants when they tried to flee. Labuschagne testified that the three accused now realized that they had acted wrongfully and showed real remorse. Each of them had expressed the wish to face their victims and ask their forgiveness and they had all offered to make some kind of financial contribution towards their victims. She made it clear that the three accused were part of a sub-culture of violence within the police. They had not instigated the training method to use illegal immigrants as bait for the dogs, but had as young policemen joined a force where the practice was already in existence. The three were not inherently evil men against whom society should be protected. They were basically good men who had "stood up out of the mud" and are now all gainfully employed. It would serve no positive purpose to send them to jail directly, she said. "They showed real remorse and say that they would do anything to make good.. They know that they will never truly be able to make restitution, but have a real desire to try and make up for what they did in any manner -- it is ...
