Bail for businessman charged for attempted hit
A businessman and the two men he allegedly hired to kill his business partner were granted R5000 bail in the Durban Magistrate’s court, the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) said on Friday.
KwaZulu-Natal NPA spokeswoman Natasha Ramkisson-Kara said that the accused; Dain Robert Neveling, Kristian Jorgensen and Hendrik Nunez were granted bail on Thursday.
The three are alleged to have attempted to arrange the killing of Grant David Webb, first in July and again in October.
The three were caught following a sting operation last month by the Directorate for priority Crime Investigation (Hawks) after one of the men allegedly attempted to hire a hitman to kill Webb.
Unfortunately for the trio, the man they tried to hire was an undercover policeman.
They were seeking to have Webb killed in order to cash in on a R34 million insurance policy, Hawks spokesman Brigadier Hangwani Mulaudzi said last month at the time of their arrest.
Ramkisson-Kara said that the court ordered the men not to approach or interfere with any witnesses involved in the case. It was postponed to January 26. – ANA
