Tavern owner in court for murder of Gqeberha father and son


A 62-year-old tavern owner and her 43-year-old accomplice have been charged with the double murder of a Windvogel father and his son.

The bodies of the 45-year-old Edwin de Vos and his 19-year-old son, Leonardo, were discovered next to a gravel road near Addo last week.

Both had sustained gunshot wounds.

Nomza Jacobs and Thembisihle Selani have been charged with murder and kidnapping during a brief appearance in the Gqeberha Magistrates Court on Friday.

The accused were arrested in Missionvale on Tuesday.

The father and son were both mechanics.

It is alleged that they had done repair work to Jacobs' vehicle, before their deaths.

The man and his son were last seen alive when they left their home in Windvogel with Jacobs, allegedly to go and inspect her vehicle.

The accused will appear in court again on Thursday for a formal bail application.
