A KwaZulu-Natal man who is alleged to have stabbed and beheaded his grandmother Beatrice De Lange, 80, and then kicked her head around like a soccer ball in June 2024 wants more time to consult with his lawyer before the trial.
The murder trial of Thabo Ntokozo Nzimande, 32, was scheduled to start in the Durban high court on Monday but his lawyer told the court he needed to take instruction from his client.
Nzimande was arrested with blood-stained clothes on June 8 2024, a day after the murder at their home in Maurice Nichols Road in Pinetown.
