Psych evaluation expected for suspects in gay mass murder
In South Africa, the state is expected to refer the defendants in a mass murder at a gay massage parlor for psychiatric evaluation. Adam Woest, a Cape Town waiter, and Basil Theys, a taxi driver, are accused of killing nine men at Sizzlers in Sea Point in January last year. The two men will face nine counts of murder, one of attempted murder, one of robbery with aggravating circumstances, and one involving the unlawful possession of firearms and ammunition. In addition, Theys faces a charge of theft. There are a total of 89 witnesses on the state's list, including one survivor of the massacre who is currently in a witness protection program.
