Eden Park’s mother, Joanne Swartbooi, appeared before the Johannesburg High Court on April 25 following her appearance a week ago.
During her appearance, the presiding judge postponed her court case to May 2, where she will make a plea before the court.
Swartbooi faces charges of murder and defeating the ends of justice after being accused of killing her boyfriend, Timothy Jacobs, with a baseball bat and burning his body.
She remains in custody after being previously denied bail at Palm Ridge Magistrate’s Court.
