# The High Court in Pretoria has dismissed with costs the urgent application by convicted rapist and murderer Thabo Bester and his former girlfriend, Nandipha Magudumana, to halt the airing of the Netflix documentary Beauty and the Bester. They argued the documentary contains defamatory information and infringes on their right to a fair trial. In her ruling, Judge Suet Potterill said the application is not urgent, and the presumption of innocence until proven guilty will in no way be impacted by the utterances in the documentary.
