Dwight Bowes, 39, allegedly killed his wife, Abenise, whose body was found in a shallow grave on a field just metres from their Lotus River home in 2017.

Cape Town - A man accused of murdering his wife two years ago and then dumping her body on an open field will stand trial in the Western Cape High Court next year. On Thursday, appearing in the Wynberg Magistrates’ Court, dressed in khaki pants and T-shirt, black knee pads, a waist belt and what looked like a bullet proof vest, Dwight looked like he was going to war, but seemed as cool as a cucumber in the dock.

The magistrate asked whether his lawyer was present and he responded: “My attorney is on holiday and he requested I get a State lawyer.”The matter was then referred to the Western Cape High Court for trial, starting on 28 February.
