The case against against of one of the co-accused in the Christopher Panayiotou murder trial was postponed today to the end of January next year.
Sinethembe Nemembe was expected to go on trial in May for the murder of 78-year-old Denise Webber in her home in Kabega Park in August 2015.
At the time of his arrest police also recovered some of the goods stolen from Webber's home.
Nemembe meanwhile returned to the Port Elizabeth High Court Wednesday morning for the resumption of the Panayiotou murder trial.
He is accused, alongside Christopher Panayiotou and Zolani Sobeko, of the abduction and murder of teacher, Jayde Panayiotou in April 2015.
At the resumption of the trial in the High Court Wednesday, Jayde's family reportedly mentioned that Christopher was wearing his wedding suit.
The State has some 15 more witnesses to call before it wraps up its case.
The court heard brief testimony from Warrant Officer Kleingeld, who is emplyed at the magistrate's court and has to take photographs of those involved in every new case.
He testified on the condition of alleged middleman Luthando Siyoni's swollen left eye, when he first appeared in court.
The next witness on the stand was Sergeant Mncedi Gcukumana who worked from the Mount Road station-hijack unit in 2015, as the trial-within-a-trial continues.
