GAUTENG. – Brian Wesley Smith (45) of Lyttelton appeared briefly in the Pretoria magistrate's court on Tuesday on charges of murder and attempted murder following a shooting incident at the Little Britain Pub in Waterkloof in which Baden Watson (54) was killed and another man was wounded. Smith's formal bail application will be heard on 20 October.
Lumka Mahanjana, NPA spokesperson, says the incident took place on the evening of 10 October. According to the state, Watson and the other man approached Smith at the entrance and asked him to leave the pub because he belonged to a different motorcycle club. Smith allegedly then drew a firearm and shot at the two men before fleeing. Watson was pronounced dead at the scene, while the other man was taken to hospital. Smith handed himself over to police early the next morning and was subsequently detained.
