The man accused of murdering Nelspruit deputy sheriff Michelle Jones (31) and injuring her partner, Julio Baumgat, will appear for a formal bail application in the Nelspruit Magistrate’s Court tomorrow, December 14.
The accused, Hendry Dlamini (32), had last appeared in court on November 8.
According to the Mpumalanga National Prosecuting Authority’s Monica Nyuswa, when Dlamini had appeared in court last month, he abandoned his bail application and the matter was postponed to December 13 for further investigation.
