53 year old woman arrested for conspiracy to kill her husband appears in court
A 53-year-old woman arrested in connection with conspiracy to assassinate her husband appeared in court in a questionable state of mind.
WHITE RIVER – Ms Maria Ferreira from Ponta do Oura Mozambique kept on salivating in court such that she was sent out to the cells until her name was called for court appearance.
Magistrate Ms Winnie Baloi asked her several times if she needed any medical treatment, but she refused stating that she needs to see her husband’s lawyer.
She was remanded in custody and will appear for her formal bail application on March 27.
Ferreira was arrested by members of the Hawks on March 19 after she allegedly planned her husband’s murder.
She allegedly paid a police agent R500 for petrol and agreed to pay him R20 000 after the murder.
Capt Dineo Sekgotodi, Hawks spokesperson adds that the woman is now married for the third time and one of her former husbands was stabbed seven times while he was changing a flat tyre in front of their house in Bronkhorstspruit. “The case of Bronkhorstspruit will also be investigated thoroughly to check if the murder was genuine or was also a hit,” she said.
