Two men face SA court over alleged murder of Bill Frangos

·

Two men accused of murdering Adelaide resident Bill Frangos and setting fire to his home to destroy evidence have faced court for the first time.

According to The Advertiser, Yanick Masengo Nkhangu and Shekuba Kamara, both aged 26, appeared via video link in the Adelaide Magistrates Court on Monday, April 14 and did not apply for bail.

They are charged with murder, arson, and destroying human remains with intent to pervert the course of justice, after Mr Frangos’ body was discovered inside his burning Woodville Gardens home last November.

Prosecutors requested an eight-month adjournment due to the complex nature of the investigation, including the need to translate phone intercepts in a rare dialect, and analyse data from mobile towers, DNA samples, and CCTV footage.

Defence lawyers argued the delay was excessive, and the court ultimately agreed to a six-month adjournment.

Outside court, Mr Nkhangu’s brother, Christian, expressed his support, saying: “He’s a lovely guy, he’s a great guy. He’s a family guy. He looks after his family.”
