Die saak is met die hofverskyning tot Woensdag 19 Maart vir konsultasie met sy nuwe prokureur uitgestel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apollis staan tereg weens die moord op die ma van sy drie minderjarige kinders. Lotz het op Saterdag 4 Maart 2023 die slagoffer van \u2019n noodlottige mesaanval geword nadat \u2019n stryery glo tussen die oorledene en die moordbeskuldigde uitgebreek het (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.netwerk24.com\/netwerk24\/za\/distrikspos\/pa-vermoor-glo-gordonsbaai-ma-van-drie-20230308-2\">\u201cPa vermoor glo ma van 3,\u201d <\/a><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.netwerk24.com\/netwerk24\/za\/distrikspos\/pa-vermoor-glo-gordonsbaai-ma-van-drie-20230308-2\">DistriksPos &amp; Helderberg Gazette<\/a><\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.netwerk24.com\/netwerk24\/za\/distrikspos\/pa-vermoor-glo-gordonsbaai-ma-van-drie-20230308-2\">, 8 Maart 2023<\/a>). 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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lotz is op die toneel dood. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Die beskuldigde het hom later by die Gordonsbaai-polisiekantoor oorgegee. Die Strand-polisie het by navraag 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 agter tralies nadat hy sy borgtogaansoek laat vaar het (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.netwerk24.com\/netwerk24\/za\/distrikspos\/nuus\/lotz-moord-beskuldigde-weier-borg-20230315\">\u201cBeskuldigde weier borg,\u201d <\/a><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.netwerk24.com\/netwerk24\/za\/distrikspos\/nuus\/lotz-moord-beskuldigde-weier-borg-20230315\">DistriksPos &amp; Helderberg Gazette<\/a><\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.netwerk24.com\/netwerk24\/za\/distrikspos\/nuus\/lotz-moord-beskuldigde-weier-borg-20230315\">, 15 Maart 2023<\/a>).
