Donovan Moodley, who is serving life in jail for kidnapping and murdering Leigh Matthews, has allegedly changed his version of events again, this time during his parole hearing, claiming that he shot Matthews because she was screaming. | AlexMitchley
Moodley's parole hearing, which lasted for several hours, was held at the Johannesburg prison on Wednesday.Moodley has been given another shot at parole, after his parole was denied in January 2022.
Moodley abducted Matthews from Bond University, Sandton, in 2004 and held her captive while demanding ransom money from her family. After receiving R50 000 from Matthews' father, Moodley shot her three times instead of letting her go. In another version, he said there were three drug dealers involved, but later reneged on that version.Rob Matthews said this was yet another fabrication because, throughout the years, Moodley never said he had chosen to shoot Leigh because she was screaming.
Koen said Moodley did not show remorse, and that there could be no remorse without telling the truth. He was also disappointed that the parole board would not accept submissions made by experts on Moodley and whether or not he should be paroled.According to the Department of Correctional Services , the parole board recommended further profiling.
