The Johannesburg high court on Tuesday found paediatric surgeon Prof Peter Beale not guilty on three counts of murder and two counts of fraud.
Beale was accused of “unlawfully and intentionally” causing the death of a three-year-old boy in March 2012, a 21-month-old girl in July 2016 and a 10-year-old boy in October 2019 after he had operated on the children. The court ordered that the names of the children should not be published.
