Justice Ngema in court charged with attempting to murder nurse Magdeline Makola

In short:
A man appeared in court today accused of attempting to murder a nurse who was found locked in the boot of her own car. The man charged for these actions is Justice Ngema, 35. He remained silent and made no plea or declaration during the short hearing. The 38 years old women works as a cardiac nurse and comes from Livingstone in West Lothian. She is now recovering in a hospital after she was found after 11 days of gone missing. Colleagues had raised the alarm on het being missing after she didn’t turn up for het shift on the eighteenth of December. The last time she was seen before this was when she left her work at Edinburgh Royal Infirmary on December 15. After this an investigation was launched by the local police and on December 26 she was found, dressed in her nightclothes and suffering from hypothermia and dehydration. If she was in the booth for the full ten days in not clear yet but she doesn’t suffer from major injuries. Ms Makola, who adopted British citizenship after moving to Scotland six years ago, is being treated in Monklands Hospital in Lanarkshire, where she is said to be in a stable condition. Ngema is due to appear in court again on Tuesday January 6

My opinion:
The fact that alarm was raised very fast after gone missing is a good thing. If this had not happened it might have turned out in a whole other story. The police did a good job finding her, even if it took over 10 days. The only thing I do not understand out of this article is that it does not say anything about the connection between the victim and the attacker.
