Prince Lethukuthula Zulu murder case postponed to Thursday
The case against the five people accused of the murder of King Goodwill Zwelithini's son, Prince Lethukuthula Zulu, has been postponed to Thursday for a bail application.
The 50-year-old was found dead by security guards at his home in Northwold, Johannesburg earlier this month.
Tshegofatso Vivian Moremane, 20, Margeret Koalie, 42, Portia Mmola, 28, Gontshe Tlholoe, 30 and Dakalo Mbedzi, 32, were arrested in connection with the murder last week.
They appeared in the Randburg Magistrate’s Court on Monday morning.
Spokesperson for the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) in Gauteng Phindi Mjonondwane told journalists outside court that some of the suspects have other pending cases.
"Accused two, three and four are having a pending case that is before court in Benoni where they are charged with two counts of robbery, and one count of possession of stolen goods.”
Prince Lethukuthula Zulu murder accused back in court on Tuesday
Fifty-year-old Prince Lethukuthula Zulu was found dead in his Northwold home by security guards two weeks ago. It's believed the prince and his friend were drugged before a robbery was committed. Gauteng police spokesperson Mathapelo Peters says the five suspects aged between 27 to 42 were arrested on Friday night in Pretoria.
