The groom who lost his bride in an accident on their wedding night, dies
The husband of the woman killed in a crash on their wedding day
died on Saturday, December 19, three years after the tragic incident.
Louwrens Geldenhuys, 34, reportedly died of a heart attack as the
trial of the man allegedly responsible for the death of his wife is
drawing to a close.
Hours after Chantal and Geldenhuys exchanged vows in a church north
of Pretoria on December 2, 2012, the couple was involved in a grisly crash when an alleged intoxicated soldier drove into them.
Sergeant-Major Abram Themba has pleaded not guilty to charges of
murder and reckless or negligent driving in the Pretoria North Regional
Court. Themba allegedly skipped a red traffic light shortly after midnight on the corner of Dr Van der Merwe and Sefako Makgatho
drives.
Themba was driving a white Toyota Hilux bakkie and, according to
earlier testimony in court, had to be helped out of his vehicle by
Warrant Officer Jan Booysen.
The testimony was that Themba, who at the time of the accident
claimed he was a SA National Defence Force Colonel, reeked of alcohol
and that his speech was slurred.
