A COUPLE and their domestic worker who were arrested for possession of unlicensed firearms, ammunition and explosives at a house in Norwood are expected to appear in the Johannesburg Magistrate’s Court today.
Emma Shumler-Tishko, 62, her husband Mark, 59, and Endi Nkhoma, 26, who all appeared in court on 23 June, are facing charges of being in possession of unlicensed firearms and ammunition, dealing in dagga, and contravention of the Explosives Act. Wheelchair-bound Emma was previously granted bail of R5 000 due to her condition. Mark and Nkhoma remain in custody.
