Bulls star charged with murdering policeman 'with his hands' August 31, 2010
South African rugby union player Bees Roux was charged with murder on Monday after allegedly beating a policeman to death in Pretoria.
At a bail hearing in a court room crowded with police officers, Roux's lawyer said his client, who won the 2010 Super 14 rugby title with the Bulls, would plead not guilty.
The 28-year-old Roux claims his car was being stolen and that he was acting in self defence, said the lawyer, who also claimed his client's credit card had been used at a fast food restaurant after he was placed in custody.
