One of the accused in the Bianca Parsons murder case has told the Durban Magistrate's Court he is remorseful for his role in her death.
Darryl Murrison and his co-accused - Christopher Housten stand accused of killing 32-year-old Parsons at a Wentworth petrol station last month.
The Wentworth mother was shot dead in front of her three-year-old daughter.
Murrison says he will admit guilt - while Housten who is applying for bail - will plead not guilty to the charges of murder and attempted murder.

In his affidavit read out in court - Murrisson admitted to shooting Parsons, without having seen her face. He said he shot her - thinking she was someone else.
Murrisson went on to tell the court that he used his own unlicensed firearm - and that Housten was not involved in the shooting.
Murrison said his actions were not planned and that he acted on the spur of the moment.
He said he meant to shoot someone else who had been in a similar looking vehicle out of revenge for allegedly murdering his friend last year.
