E-hailing driver murder case postponed to March

The case against suspects accused of the murder of e-hailing driver Isaac Satlat has been postponed to March.

This after accused number one, Dikeledi Mphela, was not brought to court from Attridgeville prison in Monday's court proceedings.

According to documents from correctional services, Mphela is only scheduled to appear in court in March.

Despite this, the matter was set down for Monday in the Pretoria Magistrate's Court.

The misunderstanding stemmed from a J7 form, which authorises the detention of suspects.

The form is dated the 3rd of March instead of the 23rd of February, resulting in the accused not being transported to court.

Six suspects were arrested in connection with Satlat's murder, who was hijacked and killed in his vehicle

Meanwhile, the lawyer representing the Satlat family has described the delay as disappointing.

"We are not happy, because this is a highly sensitive matter its a public matter, missing a date of court should not have taken place, there's no reason why they should miss the date."
