Duncan Hoorn has been convicted of murdering his wife, Chantel Pasqualle-Hoorn, after a court rejected his account of how she sustained her injuries, with medical evidence undermining his defence, according to IOL. Hoorn was, however, acquitted on charges of kidnapping and defeating the ends of justice. The judgment found his version of events inconsistent with the medical evidence presented during the trial, leading to the murder conviction while clearing him of the additional counts he faced.
