THE much anticipated murder trial of Ntuthuko Shoba has been postponed to January next year.
But his lawyer brought a postponement application. Acting Judge William Karam heard that Shoba’s legal team was barely ready for the trial.
“Counsel for the defence as well as the instructing attorney have informed the court that this date is suitable.Shoba was arrested in February and charged after Muzikayise Malephane, a man initially nabbed for Pule’s shocking killing, entered into a plea bargain with the State. Due to the plea bargain, he was sentenced to 20 years behind bars. His confession effectively saved him from being handed a life imprisonment sentence.
