A restraint order preventing convicted husband-killer Thandi Maqubela from inheriting his estate was granted this week.
National Prosecuting Authority spokesperson, Nathi Mncube, said yesterday that the value of the inheritance of Mrs Maqubela is estimated at R7.2m.
He said the executor of the estate and the Master of the High Court in Johannesburg were winding up the estate and had been ordered not to pay out Maqubela's inheritance until the conclusion of her criminal case.
Maqubela was convicted in November of killing her husband, acting judge Patrick Maqubela, in June 2009, despite there being no conclusive medical evidence pinpointing a cause of death.
She was also found guilty of forging her husband's will and committing fraud by causing potential prejudice to his estate.
Her sentencing was postponed to August 4 after she appointed a new defence team.
