December 14th, 2012

The date of the trial of former Blue Bulls rugby player Phindile Joseph Ntshongwana will be set on Friday in the Durban High Court.

The trial was postponed on November 30.

Defence attorney for Ntshongwana, Themba Mjoli, was not in court as he was receiving medical treatment for his diabetes.

Ntshongwana is charged with the murder of Thembelenkosini Cebekhulu in Montclair on March 20, 2011, Paulos Hlongwa two days later, Simon Ngidi the following day, and an unidentified man sometime that week.

All were hacked to death with an axe.

He is also accused of kidnapping and raping a woman on November 28, 2010, and assault with intent to do grievous bodily harm.

He faces two other charges of attempted murder.

He has pleaded not guilty.
