The trial involving a senior state prosecutor who was allegedly assaulted and bit off the thumb of one of his alleged assailants was postponed in the Gqeberha magistrate’s court on Wednesday.
The five suspects face murder and attempted murder charges after they were arrested in connection with the killing of eight people during a birthday celebration in KwaZakhele on 29 January.
A Cape Town lawyer has been fighting for almost two years to have her ex-boyfriend stand trial for assault after he allegedly beat her up when she claimed to have caught him cheating.
Two of the five men arrested in connection with the Kwazakhele birthday massacre abandoned their bail bids when they appeared in the magistrate’s court in Gqeberha on Monday, while the police confirmed another two arrests were imminent.
