Vicki Terblanche's boyfriend in court for her murder

Reinhardt Leach appeared in the Gqeberha Magistrate’s Court on Monday in connection with the murder of his girlfriend Vicki Terblanche.

His friend Dylan Cullis appeared as his co-accused.

The two were arrested over the weekend after they were questioned by police.

They ultimately led police to Terblanche's body, which was buried in a shallow grave. 

A day before, Leach had reported her missing, and in his last Facebook post, he asks community members to contact him or inform another close relative.
