The trial against a policeman accused of killing his wife was postponed in the North Gauteng High Court sitting in Vereeniging on Tuesday.
Sergeant Edward Kennedy Fox‚ who is attached to the Vaal Rand Flying Squad‚ appeared briefly before Judge Jacobus Strijdom.
Fox allegedly killed his wife‚ Chë Fox‚ 27‚ at their home in Rustervaal in the Vaal on November 6‚ 2014. The policeman allegedly shot her in the head and later went outside the house and fired through the window.
He allegedly claimed that his wife was shot and killed by an intruder who fired bullets through the window.
On Tuesday‚ his lawyer‚ advocate Mabuse Monareng‚ asked for a postponement in order to properly consult with the accused.
On Monday‚ Fox was represented by advocate Malefetsane Mokoena‚ who asked for a postponement and public prosecutor Gerrie Nel argued that the request be denied.
Strijdom on Monday ordered Fox‚ 35‚ to surrender his service pistol before 2pm. This came after Nel pleaded with the court to add more bail conditions to the accused.
The case will resume next Monday.
