The Polokwane magistrates court has denied bail to the husband and brothers of a former policewoman believed to be the mastermind behind a R10m insurance for murder scam over fears that they may endanger witnesses.
Rachel Kutumela, who has been fired from her police job at Senwabarwana police station, allegedly came up with the plan that saw the murders of relatives, including her disabled brother-in-law.
She was later arrested and denied bail last year together with her sister and daughter. Their trial will start in October.
