Overview

  • The High Court in Johannesburg postponed pre-trial proceedings to 24 July so a trial date and further steps can be set.
  • The state says its investigation is finished, citing cellphone analysis and financial records, and that an indictment has been prepared for trial.
  • Two men remain accused: Armindo Pacula, accused of firing the fatal shot, and Victor Majola, accused of planning the killing.
  • Pacula is held at Modderbee Prison for safety reasons and has applied for Legal Aid while his lawyer says he intends to consider a guilty plea after reviewing the case docket.
  • The killing of media personality Warrick 'DJ Warras' Stock in Johannesburg last year has drawn public attention and police say they continue to probe possible additional suspects, which could expand the case.
