Six Held Without Bail in Mbense Murder | Johannesburg News

Six accused in the brutal murder of Emmanuel Mbense, including suspended Deputy Chief Julius Mkhwanazi, have been denied bail as the Brakpan Magistrate’s Court ruled they lack sufficient evidence to justify release. The victims were allegedly tortured and dumped at a dam on Mkhwanazi’s orders, with charges also including robbery and obstructing justice. The case has sparked national outrage, especially after four other connected individuals died under suspicious circumstances — adding chilling weight to an already grim investigation tied to a warehouse robbery from 2022. All six remain in custody as the legal battle continues. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
