Ethel (54), Mr Peter Khoza (52) and 32-year-old Mr Xolani Ngwenya had to spend the weekend in cells after their bail application was postponed to May 15 as the investigating officer was not present to give a testimony as to why he or she opposes the bail.
The three face charges of conspiracy to murder, robbery with aggravating circumstances and the murder of Ethel’s 57-year-old husband.
The trio’s legal representatives said they were not ready to proceed with the bail application because they needed the state to provide reasons as to why they oppose bail against their clients.
