A suspect and her boyfriend who are accused of murdering a man who disappeared last month in Melkbosstrand were joined by more accused in the dock on Monday.
Stacey Lee Hector, 39, and Wade van Reneen, 39, returned to the Atlantis Magistrate's Court facing charges of murder, kidnapping and defeating the ends of justice.
The pair were joined by co-accused Kyle Francis, Courtney Nortje and Igshaan Abrahams.
They are allegedly all linked to the murder of Malcolm Pather, 41, who was last seen leaving his home in Richwood in his Blue BMW 1 Series on July 13.
It is alleged that he had booked a session with believed sex worker Hector in Table View on the day of his disappearance.
Pather, though, apparently walked into a trap, with it being believed that he was ambushed and extorted by the couple.
