#vanbreda That ends state witness
http://testimony.Next witness is Janine Philander. She was employed at CoCT emergency centre.@TimesLIVE
#vanbreda Philander worked in a call centre.Their emergency no. is 107 from landline/112 from cellphone. All calls are recorded.
#vanbreda Philander was working on the morning of the murders. 'I received a call from Henri & he phoned in for an ambulance.' @TimesLIVE
#vanbreda Philander: 'Henri sounded hesitant but then he gave a giggle. I thought it was a prank. But he was calm afterwards.'
#vanbreda I thought it was a prank as he did not act the way that people normally act when they make that type of call.
#vanbreda Normally they are frantic, shouting, screaming, in tears, can't recall their contact number, confused. But main thing is...
#vanbreda ...when they phone in, they all say "get the people help, someone is dying, help me!" And that didn't happen with Henri.
#vanbreda I told him if this is a prank I will phone police.Normally pranksters will hang up but he didn't hang up&so I continued call.
#vanbreda it was really strange how calm he was, with my experience this was not normal.
#vanbreda Philander continues...ambulances in the area knew the area.So we struggled with location at first but the ambulances made it there
#vanbreda state will now play clips from the call centre that night. Henris call to the centre to speak to Philander. @TimesLIVE
#vanbreda Philander says Henri was on the line throughout these recordings.
#vanbreda ok here we go.
#vanbreda We are hearing Henri phone in to emergency call centre on morning of the murders at 07:12.We are watching Philander's call screen.
#vanbreda we are hearing Henris voice phoning in. But speakers are distorting. Defence Botha says we need proper speakers for this evidence.
#vanbreda judge says we will adjourn until tomorrow for state to fix sound problems. Judge is handed cd with recordings. @TimesLIVE
