  • Lwazi Ntsibantsiba and Gcinile Ngcobela are accused of the murders of the elderly couple in their Ottery home on 5 January 2019. They pleaded not guilty and are on trial in the Western Cape High Court.
  • 05/12/2022: After numerous delays, Acting Judge Brian Hack was not pleased to hear one of the accused in the murder of the couple was not in court on Wednesday because he had allergies. The court heard the accused sent word by way of a photo of a bottle of Allergex, and a vague doctor's note obtained hours before the trial. The note said he was booked off sick with a "medical condition". The Judge gave him until Thursday to arrive at court, otherwise, he would have his bail revoked.
