The sole surviving suspect in the bludgeoning of seven family members from Vlakfontein was expected back in the Protea Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday.

He denied Khupe bail. One of his reasons was a likelihood that Khupe, who is a foreign national who now holds South African citizenship, would be killed by the public should he be released.

He claimed to have been threatened by Khupe into carrying out the murders and even after his arrest pleaded with the court to keep him separated from Khupe. Neighbours had reportedly forced Khupe to open the door to the house after being concerned by an unbearable stench coming from the yard.
