Suspect in Amathole employee killing appears in court

A female colleague of the late  Amathole District Municipality employee  whose body was found at the Vincent Park basement parking last year  appeared before the East London Magistrate’s Court  this morning.

Family, friends and colleagues of the late Thandi Mlambo packed  the court waiting to hear whether her alleged killer would be granted bail or not.

The 40-year-old suspect was Mlambo’s colleague at the municipality’s  Chiselhurst  office  in  East London.

When the suspect appeared from the holding cells, the family broke down in tears.

Wearing a flowered red and white dress, the suspect seemed confused as to what was happening in court.

Speaking to the Dispatch on the sidelines after the court had adjourned for a lunch-break, colleagues described the accused as an unfriendly and grumpy person who had no friends at the office.
