Radovan Krejcir was testifying at the Kempton Park Magistrates Court on Friday, 25 November. He was applying to have his charges for a 2016 prison escape struck off the roll.

The matter has not yet gone to trial. However, the Czech national does not believe he will receive a fair trial while being held at the Pretoria prison, according to EWN.
