On Friday, seven people believed to have orchestrated the murders of their loved ones for an insurance payout appeared in the Polokwane magistrates court for a verdict on their bail application.
The seven are David Kutumela, his brothers-in-law Thomas Shokane, William Shokane and Robert Shokane, and Damaris Selepe, Benedictor Mataba and Martha Iris Ruiters.
Kutumela is married to Rachel Kutumela, the Shokane brothers sister and alleged mastermind behind the gruesome murders that saw the family receiving about R10m in insurance payouts.
