Zoe Moore who chairs the ward 66 (Bluff) committee’s vulnerable group and gender sub-committee, attended the bail hearing. She said Bianca’s death was senseless and a complete disregard for her role in society as wife, mother and daughter, ” She was a woman of worth and to have her life cut so short in its prime, is sad,” she added.
Both men are due back in court on 14 March.
