A white South African farm worker accused of killing two black women, says he was forced to feed their bodies to pigs.
Adrian de Wet is one of three men facing murder charges after the two women, aged 45 and 34, were killed while allegedly looking for food on a farm in South Africa's northern Limpopo province in 2024.
Their bodies were then alleged to have been given to pigs in an apparent attempt to dispose of the evidence.
Mr. De Wet, 20, became a state witness when the trial started on Monday and said farm owner Zachariah Johannes Olivier shot and killed the two women.
According to both the prosecution and his lawyer, Mr. De Wet, a supervisor on the farm, will testify that he was under duress when he was forced to throw their bodies into the pig enclosure.
If the court accepts his testimony, all charges against him will be dropped.
The case has sparked outrage across South Africa, exacerbating racial tensions in the country.
William Musora, 50, another farm worker, is the third accused.
