Bail was recently denied to the five men linked to the alleged murder of Dale Kistna (32) and Sphelele Shongwe (24) from Marburg.

Durban Acting High Court Judge Sibisi dismissed the applicants’ appeal earlier this month.

Businessman Dane Rangasamy (38), and brothers Vishaan Dharamraj (43) and Rajeeth Dharamraj (47), as well as Mark Naidoo (47) and Mervyn Craig Nadarajan (42) from Saps Crime Intelligence in Port Shepstone, were arrested on December 13, 2022.

This came after Kistna’s decomposed body was found at Msinsini area on February 28 last year, followed by discovery of the skeletal remains of Shongwe in the same vicinity in September 2022.

The five men have remained in custody since their arrest.

The men are expected to appear again in court on August 14.
