The trial was supposed to have resumed on Monday. However, both the State and defence representatives were summoned to the judge president's chambers on their arrival."We were told he could only be available at 16:00. We agreed that the matter be rolled over to Tuesday," Thipe said.
Patel allegedly killed his wife, Fatima, after a heated argument over his apparent extramarital affairs.It was expected that the defence would pursue an application to introduce a video clip in which Patel's brother, Razeen, was said to have apologised for his testimony.However, the State earlier objected to the video clip and to the defence's attempt to recall Razeen to the witness stand.
"Razeen cannot be the witness of both the State and the defence," State advocate Lethabo Mashiane said at the time.Razeen had testified that Patel confessed to killing his wife. He then told their mother about the circumstances that led to the death of Patel's wife.Patel was linked to the killing through a police investigation. However, the case has since been provisionally withdrawn.
His father, Firoz, was also attacked and killed in an unresolved robbery. In addition, Yunus Mayet, the father of his current wife, Nazreen, was kidnapped and killed.Razeen himself was shot at several times in Mankweng, outside Polokwane.In times of uncertainty you need journalism you can trust.
