There was drama in the Nelspruit magistrate's court with the state asking for a postponement to add a fourth suspect in the Hillary Gardee murder case and amend an indictment which was supposed to be served on the accused on Monday.

Last week, defence lawyer Adv Ncobizitha Mlilo called for the court to subpoena police

"I was also made aware that the accused could not be brought to this court because when he was arrested he was out on parole and his parole has since been revoked and he is in the hands of correctional services. "We therefore request for a postponement for a day or two to amend the indictment and also for the accused to appear in this court on Wednesday," said Mpolweni.

"The state is playing dirty tricks. We will not allow a further postponement on this matter because the reason we are here [in court] was for the state to hand over the indictment.
