Lombaard, van Middelpos, word bygevoeg tot die saak in die verdwyning van Joshlin en sal saam met die ander drie beskuldigdes, Joshlin se ma, Kelly Smith (33), Jacquen (Boeta) Appollis (31), en sy vriend, Steveno van Rhyn (27), op 13 Mei weer in die hof verskyn.

Lombaard sal wel vlugtig weer verskyn vir borginligting op Maandag 25 Maart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
