Insurance murders case resumes
Polokwane Observer
|July 10, 2025
Former police officer Rachel Kutumela, along with co-accused Anna and Flora Shokane, appeared in the Polokwane Magistrate's Court last Wednesday following a previous postponement on May 29. Kutumela faces charges including murder, fraud, money laundering and defeating the ends of justice.
The court appearance was initially set to continue with the cross-examination of investigating officer Capt Keshi Mabunda, who had previously testified that Kutumela opened insurance policies for all the victims shortly before their deaths.
Proceedings were, however, postponed again due to a family responsibility issue.
During the session, it was also revealed that the Department of Home Affairs records do not list Kutumela as the legal mother of accused three, Flora Shokane.
