Suspects in Deacon murder to remain behind bars
The Polokwane Magistrate’s Court has postponed the case against the four accused of the murder of prominent businesswoman Lizette and her 70-year-old mother Hettie.
Sophie Mmako (51), Lazarus Mahlo (41), Advance Amid (30) and Casper Mudau (35) each face two counts of murder, robbery with aggravating circumstances and kidnapping.
The four were locked up after the bodies of 55-year-old Lizette and her 70-year-old mother Hettie were found with stab wounds in an abandoned vehicle on the R37 next to the Kushcke off-ramp earlier this month.
Spokesperson for the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) in Limpopo Mashudu Malabi-Dzhangi says all four will be remanded in custody.
“The matter was postponed to 7 October 2020 for further investigations.”
The family’s domestic worker is among the accused.

Rakgoale on Friday visited the family of Grobler, who was murdered at Koraal Retirement Village in Polokwane earlier this week. Preliminary investigations revealed the suspects entered Grobler's home and severely assaulted her. Rakgoale said there are still questions on how the suspects gained entry into Grobler's house, since security at the complex is supposed to be tight.
