A farm worker has told the court how a man wearing bloodied overalls had arrived at a farm adjacent to Eugene Terre'Blanche's farm, telling him he had just killed the right-wing leader.

This was during the easter weekend last year and Richard Selane had been at work when Chris Mahlangu and the teenage accused approached him, saying they needed his phone to call police.

"Accused two (Mahlangu) was wearing overalls with lots of blood spots. He said they stabbed Eugene Terre'Blanche and I should borrow them my phone so they can call police," said Richard Selane.

He was testifying in the Ventersdorp Circuit Court as the trial against Mahlangu and his teenage co-accused entered its second day. - Omphitlhetse Mooki
