The Cape Town High Court has moved to De Zalze Winelands Golf Estate in the picturesque town of Stellenbosch.

But there is nothing pretty about what the court is doing there.

An in loco inspection of the house where three Van Breda family members were hacked to death with an axe is taking place.

Henri van Breda is accused of murdering his mother Teresa‚ father Martin‚ brother Rudi and injuring his sister Marli. Henri arrived at the home on Tuesday with his team of lawyers.

Dress in a blue suit with a choir-boy hairstyle‚ the 21-year-old seemed calm.

Eight police officers from the Public Order Policing unit were standing at the entrance of the home.

After a brief photo and video session of the parties‚ including Judge Siraj Desai‚ about 30 journalists and photographers were asked to leave the premises.
