The Evander Magistrate’s Court on February 20 denied both Abraham Hermanus De la Rey (52) and Arthur William Underhay (39) bail.

Both De la Rey and Underhay are faced with charges of murder, violating of a corpse, defeating the course of justice and intimidation after their arrest last month.

Their arrest came after the police found what they suspected was a human brain wrapped in a plastic bag on a farm in the area as well as blood elsewhere on the farm.

A tip-off about burnt bodies that were allegedly buried on a farm sent the police to De la Rey’s farm.
