One of the men arrested for the killing of seven family members in Vlakfontein appeared in the Lenasia Magistrates Court today, November 12.
Mozambican national, Fifita Khupe, 61 was expected to begin his bail application while his accomplice and suspected master mind, 27 year old Ernest Mabaso abandoned his bail bid.
The matter was postponed to Tuesday November 20 and Wednesday for formal bail applications.
The duo appered at the Lenasia Magistrate’s Court last Monday on seven counts of premeditated murder, with Mabasa also facing three counts of rape.
They also face an additional charge of theft, as they were found with the bank cards of the deceased.
The police found the bodies of three women and four children buried under sand in a house in Vlakfontein on October 29, after neighbours noticed a strange stench from the house.
