Four men appeared briefly in the Wynberg Magistrate’s court on Monday in connection with the murder of a six-month-old baby last month. The court proceedings were held in camera because one of the accused is 16-years-old, said police spokesperson Captain Elliot Sinyangana.
He said the men were remanded to Pollsmoor prison and the youth to a place of safety until July 18 when their application for bail will be heard.
The four, who faces charges of murder and robbery with aggravating circumstances, were not asked to plead.
Sinyangana said the police believed they had arrested the ”right suspects”.
The accused, aged between 16 and 32, were arrested over the weekend in Nyanga, Cape Town.
He could not confirm whether any of the accused confessed to any part in the murder of baby Jordan Leigh Norton. The alleged mastermind, Dina Rodrigues, was granted bail of R20 000 last week. Rodrigues is alleged to have ordered the murder of the baby, who was the biological child of her former boyfriend, Neil Wilson. – Sapa
