White South African farmers guilty in 'coffin assault'

Assailants filmed themselves shoving black victim into a wooden coffin and closing the top as he begged for his life.

A South African judge on Friday found two white farmers guilty of attempted murder after they filmed themselves forcing a black man into a coffin and threatening to burn him alive.

"For attempted murder of Mr [Victor] Mlotshwa, I hereby find you both guilty," Judge Segopotje Mphahlele told the accused before supporters of the victim burst out in celebratory songs in the courtroom.
