There’s been yet another delay in the murder case of a nurse accused of killing her 21-year-old domestic worker for an estimated R6 million payout.
It is understood that in January 2022 Busiswa Nxumalo’s body was found at a dumping site in Lenasia South, with her throat slit.
Sithembile Xulu and her co-accused Simon Mogale briefly appeared at the Lenasia Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday on charges of murder and three counts of insurance fraud before a postponement.
During Tuesday’s proceedings, the court was informed that Sithembile Xulu fired her legal representation and hired a new attorney.
She made the move while still applying for bail and facing cross-examination by the State.
Presiding magistrate, Syfred Mati, postponed the matter to next week Friday.
“Because counsel needs to consult thoroughly with both of you before continuation of the bail application, the case is postponed to the 2nd of August 2024, it goes back to court 2.”
To date, the case has been postponed four times.
