32-year-old Bianca Parsons was gunned down while sitting in her car at a petrol station on Tara Road in Wentworth, south of Durban.

Her husband had been inside the garage shop at the time of the shooting.

33-year-old Darryl Murrison and 26-year-old Christopher Houston made a brief appearance in the Durban Magistrate's Court this morning.

Magistrate Mohamed Motala remanded both men into custody until next week Wednesday.

Murrison intends pleading guilty and has abandoned his bid for bail. Houston will apply for bail at his next appearance. 

Both men kept their heads down while in the dock until they were taken back to the police holding cells. 

Parsons' family filled the first two rows of Court 10, looking close to tears.
