No bail for laundry murder accused

The four people accused of murdering three laundry workers in Vereeniging in Gauteng have been refused bail. The victims were all strangled and their bodies stuffed into washing machines in what has been described as a racially motivated labour dispute. News24 reports that Charl Colyn, owner of Protea Dry Cleaners, his daughter Isabel, son-in-law Jacques Smit and family friend Ruan Swanepoel were arrested on the 13th of January. The Colyn's gardeners Samuel Mzizi and Jacob Dlamini, who were arrested three days earlier, are appearing separately. The six are accused of murdering Caroline Jocelyn Lesitho, Constance Moeletsi and Victoria Ndweni.
