The presentence proceedings in the case of convicted wife murderer Simphiwe Mxosa has been delayed for over a month after the defence attorney requested time to source a presentence report. The former West Bank correctional services warder was found about four hours after his wife was killed, outside a drinking spot in East London’s CBD.
A former prison warder who wept in court and testified that he wanted his wife’s killer to be found and brought to book, was himself found guilty of the premeditated murder. His defence was that he found his wife and mother of his children lying in a pool of blood in his room at the West Bank prison barracks unresponsive on March 1 last year.
A former prison warder accused of murdering his wife inside his flat in West Bank prison has told the court he found her lying in a pool of blood, already dead.

Hours after allegedly hacking his wife with a bush knife inside his home at an East London prison early this month, Simphiwe Mxosa was drinking outside the Gillwell Mall.
