Thompson 50, a manager at City South Security, was shot five times in the parking lot of his Lotus Park, Isipingo, flat.

Avishay Singh, 24, of Isipingo appeared in the uMlazi Magistrate's Court yesterday (Tuesday) on a charge of murder.

The matter was adjourned for a bail application next week.

His wife of 18-years, Roslyn, claimed a group of revellers were causing a disturbance in the parking lot around 4.15am.

“It was a group of young men who drove over in their blue car. But they are from the area. Sherwyne only came home from work just after midnight. At 1.54am, our dogs were disturbed because the revellers were playing loud music.
