Bail refused
A Zimbabwean man alleged
to have sexually violated and murdered his 10-year-old niece has been refused
bail after a hearing in the High Court in Christchurch.
Justice Panckhurst yesterday
suppressed all details of the hearing, other than that bail had been sought for
George Evans Gwaze, but declined.
Gwaze is charged with murdering
Charlene Makaza in January, and two counts of sexually violating her.
Family members were in court to hear
the judge's decision.
