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.
