Boulter case postponed to 2023
News in short
Harvey Boulter's case has been postponed to 2023.
The British billionaire is on trial for the murder of his farm manager Gerhard van Wyk.
Public prosecutor, advocate Antonia Verhoef, said the State's investigation has not yet been completed, adding that they are still waiting for DNA results from the National Forensic Science Institute of Namibia.
The state has reportedly been waiting for these results for more than five months.
Judge Christie Liebenberg warned the parties that the case cannot remain on the court roll indefinitely and that it must progress to a point where the trial can begin.
Liebenberg adjourned the case until 16 February 2023 and extended Boulter's bail on the same terms.
Boulter, who was released on bail of N$500 000 last year, briefly appeared in the Kamanjab Magistrate's Court last week.
It is alleged he shot and killed Van Wyk during a scuffle on farm Kaross near Kamanjab on 27 February 2021.
