Lamontville triple murder case postponed
The case against the four men accused of killing three people in Lamontville over the weekend has been postponed to next week.
The bodies of Siphelele Dimba (35) Lungisani Lucky Xhoza (41) were found on Ndlovu Road on Saturday night.
Police also discovered 17-year-old Navishka Roopnarain dead in a bush adjacent to the first scene.
Another victim was wounded and taken to hospital.
The four men walked calmly into the dock today before State Prosecutor, Calvin Govender read out the 10 charges against them.
Magistrate Vanitha Armu then told the accused the charges they face are very serious and fall under schedule 6.

When Armu asked whether they would need legal aid, they replied that they have already hired a private lawyer.
Govender asked for a postponement so an ID parade could be conducted.
He said the accused also needed to be profiled and their addresses verified.
He also asked that four be moved to Westville prison for security reasons.
