The trial of 15 people facing a raft of charges in the so-called Steroid King murder case is expected to start in February next year.
The accused were each given an indictment pack in the Cape Town Magistrate s Court to help them and their lawyers prepare for the specific charges they each face.
Brian Wainstein was shot dead in front of his wife and child in Constantia on 18 August 2017.
The trial of the large group of men accused of the murder of Steroid King Brian Wainstein is expected to only get underway at the end of February next year.
The 2017 murder of steroid king Brian Wainstein was reportedly planned by alleged underworld figures Jerome ‘Donkie’ Booysen and Mark Lifman and carried out by thugs affiliated to the 27s gang. In addition, the State also alleges that Lifman paid to have Cape Flats gang boss Ralph Stanfield.

Cape Town - Alleged underworld boss Nafiz Modack is a humanitarian who feeds thousands of people every day, and not a murderer or criminal, say his supporters, some of whom flew from as far as Pretoria to support him during his appearance in the Cape Town Magistrateâs Court on Friday.
Images of 100 litre pots of Akhni being given to hungry children were used on posters, asking: âIf Nafiz does not feed us, who will?â
Modack was whisked off to Pollsmoor Prison on Friday after his appearance alongside Jacques Cronje, Ricardo Morgan and Zane Kilian.
They appeared under heavy security provided by the AGU.
AGU head Major-General Andre Lincoln sat in the public gallery to observe at the end of a dramatic week packed with appearances by Modack, regarded by some as a gang kingpin .
