Autopsy dispels suspicion of ritualistic killing in Durban art gallery owner’s murder

The six accused charged with murdering Durban art gallery owner Alan Gordon are still in custody following another postponement of their formal bail applications.Gordon’s charred remains were discovered next to a road in Ndwedwe on March 10 by a passerby.

The postponement of the formal bail application was caused by a change in legal representation for some of the accused, and their new council requiring time to prepare their arguments. A fourth charge of defeating the ends of justice for burning the deceased’s body was added since their last appearance. According to a criminal justice system insider, this could indicate the state’s intention to argue the accused’s intention to cover up the crime or the nature of how the deceased died.

On robbery with aggravating circumstances, the charge sheet alleged the accused robbed Gordon of his cellphone and VW T-Roc before dumping his body in Ndwedwe and burning it.
