Cape Town - On the third day of Henri Van Breda's trial, defence lawyer Pieter Botha argued that there is a possibility that someone could have fit through windows of the house.
According to Botha, someone could have climbed over the fence, put his/her foot on a padlock, grab and step on to a concrete pillar and then jump over.
However, presiding Judge Desai said it would be "extremely difficult and hazardous" to climb over the residence and is not as simple as just scaling the wall.
Botha says blood drops were found on the boundary wall of 13 Goske Street, which is believed to be the house next door.
It has also been noted that there are visible cameras and electrified fencing at De Zalze Estate.
After the Western Cape High Court made the decision to do an inspection on loco, it was found that there were blood drops approx 2.9m from the gate.
According to the findings, the distance between where the women were found and where axe was found were approximately 3.66 metres
Photographs from the inspection show that shutter doors were partially open.
Van Breda on Monday pleaded not guilty to all charges against him, including the murder of his parents and brother.
According to the 22-year-old accused, a “laughing”, axe-wielding murderer was behind the brutal killings of the Van Breda family.
The defence in this trial will continue their cross-examination of the first officer who was on the scene, Sergeant Adrian Kleynhans.
The trial has been adjourned until May 2.
