Trio suspected to have murdered Durban B&B owner ditch bail
The suspects believed to be behind the murder of a Durban guesthouse owner have abandoned bail.
Jacqueline Needham was attacked a year ago at her business in Glenwood.
On Friday, a third suspect joined two other accused in the dock in the Durban Magistrate's Court.
It's understood the latest suspect was already in custody for another case in Newcastle.
He was brought down to Durban and made his first appearance in court on Wednesday.
The case has been postponed to early October for further investigations.
Needham's brother Oscar Swanlund says they are relieved the trio will stay behind bars.
"I think that is fantastic. I am elated. It is almost an open-and-shut case and the evidence is overwhelming. There is no way in a proper court of law that they will be able to get away with the murder of my sister.
"The investigators are very confident. So we have had this confidence, but we have been looking for the arrest of them."
