Lawyer dies after loaded shotgun being shown as evidence in court fires
A lawyer was killed when a shotgun being shown as evidence was dropped and blasted her from point blank range.
Senior advocate Addelaid Ferreira-Watt screamed in agony as she was
blown off her feet by pellets which ripped a hole in her left hip.
Horrified staff in the Ixopi Regional Court in KwaZulu-Natal province, South Africa, frantically tried to stop the bleeding as an ambulance rushed to the scene.
Despite the efforts of paramedics the mother-of-one Addelaid was later pronounced dead in hospital.
It is thought the blast severed an artery which caused her to bleed to death.
The South African Police Service is treating the incident as culpable homicide and is working to find out why the shotgun was entered as evidence while still fully loaded.
