News24 reports that four men accused of killing two Durban metro police officers face more charges, the Verulam Magistrate's Court was told on Tuesday.
Their bail application, which was set down for Friday, has been postponed. Apparently, the extra charges relate to a house robbery they allegedly committed after the cops' murder. The four are accused of gunning down Sergeant Zephinia Dladla, 61, and Constable Sonto Mhlanga, 40, who were guarding the home of Ward 52 councillor Moses Zulu in Bhambayi, near Phoenix, last month. Zulu was assigned the protection detail following an assessment by the eThekwini metro and police. He explained that service delivery protesters had been marching on homes of politicians in the province and his house was earmarked as in need of protection.
