Cape Town - Five people accused of killing Cape Town pastor
Albern Martins have appeared in court, it was reported on Friday.
The Daily Voice reported that Dulin Isaacs, 18, Mitchell
Tallies, 18, Morne Charles, 20, Ruben Adams, 22, and a minor appeared in the
Blue Downs Magistrate's Court on Thursday.
Magistrate Gerald Hattingh postponed the matter to Thursday
for bail information. The five remained in custody.
Martins, 55, was to have appeared in the same court for
alleged perlemoen (abalone) racketeering last Friday, but was shot in the head
about a street away from the court.
He and four others were arrested during an operation in
December 2004 and January 2005.
The controversial pastor, who was renowned for holding
funerals of gangsters, and two others, had allegedly tried to exchange drugs
for perlemoen.
