The trial of a former KwaZulu-Natal policeman charged with a murder of man whose body was found in Camperdown a week and a half after he had been taken in for questioning is expected to proceed in the Durban high court on Tuesday.
Ayanda Percival Ntombela, 43, who is out on R20,000 bail, faces charges of kidnapping, murder, defeating the ends of justice and theft in connection with the disappearance of Sihle Mtsare, 27.
On Monday senior prosecutor Denardo Mcdonald said while the state was ready to proceed Ntombela's lawyer had asked for more time to consult with his client.
