Three suspects denied bail for Mpumalanga farm murder

The accused were allegedly found in possession of a camera, cellphones and bank card belonging to the deceased.


The three suspects in the farm attack at Marchlands, in which Sue Howarth was killed, have appeared before the Belfast Magistrates’ Court, where bail was denied on Monday morning.

They have been identified as Themba William Yika,  Nkosinathi Yika and Lucas Makua, Middleburg Observer reported.

All three were out on bail on another case relating to stock theft on the Bergendal Farm last year.

The accused were allegedly found in possession of a camera, cellphones and bank card belonging to the deceased.

About 150 people gathered in front of the Belfast Magistrates’ Court in anticipation of the court appearance of three suspects arrested for the farm attack on Marchlands and the murder of Sue Howarth.
