Bianca van der Westhuizen will testify next.
Met Henri in January 2014 at a braai in Knysna. She saw him the weekend before murders. She was in Grade 12.
We had started spending time together, we weren't dating, she says.
She describes the family as "very normal".
She sent him a whatsapp message the evening of Monday 26 January
I saw him for the first time the Tuesday (day of the murders) when we went to the police station. Phone on aeroplane mode when she goes to sleep.
Henri phoned her on 27 Jan at 04:24 in the morning. She says she didn't answer the call. He called again at 07:20. Van der Westhuizen says she didn't answer because classes start at 07:30 and the phone was on aeroplane mode.
Saw whatsapps in first period that there was an emergency of some sorts. Replied to him, but he didn't receive them
She tried to call, but it didn't go through or he didn't answer. They didn't speak.
Galloway asks why he would call her. She says she assumes he didn't have anyone else to call.
Van der Westhuizen and Marli went to school together.
She starts to cry.
Henri and Marli seemed close, Van der Westhuizen says.
He admired his brother a lot. They were together in Australia when rest of family was in SA.
