A Limpopo medical doctor accused of murdering his girlfriend who was a student at the University of Venda is expected to appear before the Thohoyandou magistrates court on Thursday.
Ndivhuwo Mudau‚25‚ a doctor at Tshilidzini hospital‚ handed himself over to authorities a few weeks ago after police spent days searching for him in connection with the murder of Refilwe Masinamela‚ 23‚ popularly known as Dineo.

Mudau made a brief court appearance on the same day he handed himself over to the police. His case was postponed for further investigations‚ and he is still expected to make a formal bail application before the court.
