Springs – Sbongile Dlamini will remain in custody after her bail hearing was postponed to February 21 at the Springs Magistrate’s Court today.
Dlamini, with her co-accused Nhliziyozabantu Magwanyana, is suspected of the murder of Banele Skosana (33).
The court was packed with family, friends and colleagues of the late EMPD officer.
The State opposed bail in the matter because it is a schedule six offence.
The State claimed that it needed more time to get Dlamini’s profile, which is necessary to make its argument.
The profile would include the suspects’ basic information and criminal history if there is one.
Dlamini was arrested on February 14, following the arrest of Magwanyana on February 10 at Kwa-Thema Hostel.
Magwanyana admitted to the crime, and through his confession, Dlamini was linked to the investigation.
Skosana was gunned down on Vilakazi Street in Kwa-Thema on the morning of February 7.
It is alleged, by witnesses, that they were helping Skosana offload stock for his tuckshop. As he was about to leave, he was approached by two unknown men. He was shot twice.
Paramedics were called to the scene and Skosana was declared dead.
A murder case was registered at Kwa-Thema SAPS.
