AFTER submitting a handwritten apology for her previous emotional breakdown, murder-accused Zurenah Smit became inconsolable again in court yesterday, leading the judge to postpone her trial until next year.

- CHEVON BOOYSEN

Smit is accused of masterminding her husband Stefan Smit’s murder at Louisenhof Farm on June 2, 2019. She and her co-accused Derek Sait remain out on bail of R5000 each until the matter will resume on January 26.

During her testimony Smit said on the fateful night, one of the assailants who entered the farm home, shouted “minutes” which was “pronounced differently” before a shot rang out and “everything went quiet”.
