State appoints top prosecutor to head up Vicki Terblanche murder case
The Port Elizabeth Magistrate’s Court in the Eastern Cape has postponed the bail application in the Vicki Terblanche murder case.
This after it emerged that top prosecutor Marius Stander is set to head up the matter.
It’s understood Stander was not available on Monday as he was busy with the trial of self-confessed middle-man Luthando Siyoni, in the murder of Jayde Panayiotou.
The bail application of the two men accused of the murder of the 42-year-old Gqeberha mother was postponed to Wednesday.
Terblanche's body was found in a shallow grave on a plot at Greenbushes last month, just days after her boyfriend Reinhardt Leach reported her missing to police.
A 33-year-old Leach and his 20-year-old friend Dylan Cullis appeared briefly in the PE Magistrate's court on Monday.
According to the State prosecutor Melani Hammond, Leach handed in his passport to the State on Monday morning.
Hammond added Leach and Cullis each face a charge of murder and that she was in possession of a detailed charge sheet.
