Johannesburg - The main trial of two people accused of killing AWB leader Eugene Terre'Blanche will continue in the High Court sitting in Ventersdorp on Thursday.
Evidence gathered from a minor accused of killing Terre'Blanche was on Wednesday ruled as inadmissible in his trial.
Information obtained from the boy’s co-accused Chris Mahlangu shortly after the crime was, however, admissible, said Judge John Horn.
The excluded evidence related to the minor's pointing out of the crime scene after the murder and a statement he made in this regard.
Earlier this week, the court heard arguments in a trial within the trial.
Mahlangu and the minor are charged with beating Terre'Blanche to death in his farmhouse outside Ventersdorp in the North West in April 2010.
Both have pleaded not guilty to murder, housebreaking, and robbery with aggravating circumstances. Mahlangu claims he acted in self-defence. The teenager has denied involvement in the crime. - Sapa
