gavel thumb100 News24 reports that Thembisile Yende's murder accused, David Ngwenya, was denied bail at the Springs Magistrate's Court in the east of Johannesburg on Thursday afternoon.  

Ngwenya (43), who is a technician at Eskom, allegedly murdered his lover, Yende, who was also an Eskom employee, after he suspected that she would "spill the beans" on his involvement in a copper cable theft syndicate.  Yende's body was found 10 days after her disappearance at an isolated Eskom substation.  The scene was staged to look like a suicide.  Ngwenya is due to appear in court again on 17 July.
