Sanders killing: 3 remanded

THE trial of three men accused of murdering former heavyweight boxer Corrie Sanders was postponed in the Brits Magistrate's Court in North West yesterday, police said.

Captain Amanda Funani said the three would remain in custody until their next court appearance on January 29 next year.

Paida Fish, 19, Samuel Mabena, 27, and Chris Moyo, 25, face charges of murder and aggravated robbery.

The case was adjourned last month to allow the accused to finalise legal representation.

Sanders was shot at the Thatch Haven Country Lodge outside Brits during an armed robbery on September 22.

He was attending the 21st birthday party of his nephew when three men stormed in, demanded that customers lie on the floor and hand over their valuables.

When they fled, random shots were fired. Sanders was hit in the hand and abdomen.
