Her employer, nurse Sithembile Xulu, was arrested alongside gardener Simon Mogale for the murder. It's alleged that Xulu took out three policies for Nxumalo, totalling R6 million, of which she was the only beneficiary. The duo appeared before the Lenasia Magistrate's Court on 16 July 2024 to continue their bail hearing; however, it was postponed.
The deceased’s uncle, Njabulo Nxulmalo, told EWN that the family wanted the case to be finalised swiftly:
"I am happy seeing her inside jail and not getting bail. We won't be happy if she is released because she is better off staying with the other animals in prison."
The bail application would continue on 22 July 2024.
