The Mbekweni community was satisfied after murder accused, Sithobele Qebe, 30, was denied bail by the Paarl Magistrate’s Court.
National Prosecuting Authority spokesperson Eric Ntabazalila said Qebe is also charged with a count of assault with intent to cause grievous bodily harm following Booi’s assault on August 7.
"In his Schedule 6 bail application where he was expected to convince the court that exceptional circumstances existed for him to be released on bail and that it was in the interest of justice for him to be on bail, Qebe told the court that he was a father of two children. Qebe further told the court that he had no previous convictions and no pending cases. He assured the court that he would not interfere with witnesses. He had a fruit and vegetable stall and ran a spaza shop, he added.
