Apollis word daarvan beskuldig dat hy die 32-jarige van Temperance Town se keel afgesny het. Die paartjie het na bewering \u2019n saamrygeleentheid met die oorledene se vriendin uit die Strand na Gordonsbaai ontvang en was glo op pad huis toe, toe hulle in die motor stry gekry het. Die beweerde woordewisseling het glo uiteindelik in die noodlottige mesaanval ontaard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Strand-polisiebeamptes het omstreeks 18:00 daardie Saterdag op die voorval in Laer Gordonsbaaiweg gereageer. Apollis, wat glo agter Lotz gesit het, het na bewering oor die passasiersitplek geleun en haar keel afgesny. Nadat Lotz glo in die ry uit die bewegende motor gestoot is, is die vriendin, wat agter die stuurwiel was, na bewering met die mes gedreig en opdrag gegee om aan te hou ry. Lotz is op die toneel dood. Die beskuldigde het hom later by die Gordonsbaai-polisiekantoor oorgegee. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Die Strand-polisie het n\u00e1 sy inhegtenisneming bevestig dat die beskuldigde al voorheen van verskeie geweldsmisdade aangekla is, maar nooit skuldig bevind is nie. Hy was ook ten tyde van die moord uit op borgtog in \u2019n poging-tot-moord-saak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apollis bly vir die duur van die hofsaak in aanhouding nadat hy by \u2019n vorige hofverskyning op Vrydag 10 Maart sy borgtogaansoek laat vaar het (\u201cBeskuldigde weier borg,\u201d <em>DistriksPos &amp; Helderberg Gazette<\/em>, 15 Maart). \u2019n Petisie teen sy vrylating, wat deur honderde gemeenskapslede van Temperance Town onderteken is, is ook op di\u00e9 dag aan die hof oorhandig. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Die saak is met sy mees onlangse hofverskyning tot Woensdag 13 Desember uitgestel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Die beskuldigde Charles Apollis, wat van die grumoord op Nadia Lotz aangekla word, het voorverlede Woensdag (15 November) weer in die
