(GRAPHIC)Four South African men accused of hacking Mozambican immigrant to death appear in court

Four South African men accused of stabbing Mozambican man to death in an anti-immigrant attack in a Johannesburg township appeared in court today.  The brutal murder of Emmanuel Sithole was captured on camera and shocking images show the men stabbing him and beating him with a wrench.
Anti-immigrant violence has spread across South Africa in recent weeks and the government has now sent in troops to control the riots.

The brutal attack on Mr Sithole in Alexandra township near Johannesburg on Saturday was captured on camera by a local journalist and published across the world the following day.
They show the four men surrounding the Mozambican man, before repeatedly stabbing him with knives and bludgeoning him with a wrench in broad daylight.

Witnesses took Mr Sithole to a nearby medical centre but found it was closed because the foreign-born duty doctor had failed to turn up for his shift for fear of being attacked by the xenophobic hordes rampaging through the township.
Mr Sithole was taken to hospital where he later died, the cause of death was established as a direct stab wound to the heart.
The four men accused of his murder will remain in custody until a full trial, set to be held on May 4th.
