Closing arguments in the trial of a Kareedouw guesthouse owner charged with the double murder of a young couple was postponed to the 1st of October in the Gqeberha Specialised Commercial Crimes Court on Monday.
This is after the defence indicated that they are not ready to proceed.
Kevin Pretorius, 49, was arrested after 25-year-old Jean Vosloo and his 28-year-old fiance Mari Hoon died at the Kliphuis Guesthouse from carbon monoxide poisoning in 2020.
Pretorius was arrested when the couples toxicology reports revealed their cause of death after blaming a troop of baboons for breaking flue pipe, which was connected to the geyser.
Algoa FM previously reported that the couple's bodies were found in the bathroom of Kliphuis Guesthouse on Zuuranys farm about 17 kilometres outside Kareedouw.
Pretorius is currently out on bail of R 1 000.
