Grayson James 44-year-old man who is charged with killing a Durban mother in front of her family appeared in court for the first time.
Grayson James Beare was charged with murder and two counts of attempted murder when he appeared in the Durban Magistrate’s Court.
According to Natasha Ramkisson-Kara, a spokesman for the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) in KZN, Beare’s presence is connected to the June 2 stabbing death of a woman and two of her relatives in the Glenmore region.
“The woman passed away, and her relatives—who were also reportedly stabbed several times—were gravely hurt.”
She stated that the case was postponed until June 11 in order to conduct a bail investigation and have Beare evaluated mentally. “Bail is opposed by the state.”44-year-old man who is charged with killing a Durban mother
The injured person are believed to be the woman’s husband and her son.
Police said while the motive for the killing is unknown at this stage, a 10-year-old girl who survived the attack told police that the suspect stated that he was stabbing them because they supported Palestine.
“The man also allegedly threatened to rape the little girl,” said Netshiunda.
In another story, A Hwedza man (46) and a Marondera man (50) were recently arrested for allegedly raping their biological daughters.
Allegations are that the Marondera man raped his 14-year-old daughter on several occasions and threatened to kill her if she ever disclosed it to anyone.
The matter only came to light on May 18 when a neighbour caught the man raping the minor. When the neighbour engaged the girl, she narrated her ordeal, leading to her father’s arrest.
Meanwhile, a Hwedza man was left with his children as his wife travelled.
Allegations are that during the night sometime in 2023, the man instructed his daughter and her two siblings to join him in his bedroom.
