Case against Lauren Dryden’s murder suspect postponed

A man accused of murdering a Bonteheuwel woman is expected to appear in court in a week’s time.

Lauren Dryden was waiting for a cab after she had finished working a nightshift in Elsies River when she was attacked.

The mother of two was robbed of her cellphone and shot dead early Friday morning.

Fernando Isaacs was arrested shortly afterward.

The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) said that Isaacs appeared in the Bishop Lavis Magistrates Court on Monday and the case has been remanded until 30 November.

Bonteheuwel ward councillor Angus Mckenzie is monitoring the case.

“The community is frustrated with the situation and the murder. Gender-based violence must stop. We cannot continue to see violence perpetrated against women and children,” he said.
