The man accused of killing his ex-girlfriend, Zozo, will appear in the Dutywa Magistrate’s Court tomorrow, said NPA spokesperson Luxolo Tyali.

“Viwe Rulumeni, 22, made his first appearance last week Thursday, charged with murder and attempted murder. The case was postponed for formal bail application.

“Rulumeni allegedly assaulted, choked and stabbed Kwasa in full view of a number of people on August 17. He attempted to commit suicide afterwards.
