Gauteng nurse accused of murder
Sithembile Xulu and her gardener, Simon Mogale, appeared in Johannesburg's Lenasia Magistrate’s Court on 3 July 2024. The duo was charged with three counts of fraud, one of murder and one of defeating the ends of justice.
According to SABC News, the pair allegedly killed Busiswa Nxumalo in January 2022. The 21-year-old’s body was found at a dumping site not far from Xulu’s former home in Lenasia South. During the hearing, Xulu pleaded not guilty to the charges against her.
The pair would remain behind until their bail proceedings resume on 10 July 2024.
Meanwhile, Gauteng police reopened the probe into the 2020 death of the nurse’s husband, David Xulu.
