The bail hearing of 39-year-old David Masithela, who is accused of murdering his girlfriend, has been postponed by the Bloemfontein Magistrates Court to July 9.
Masithelas legal representative asked the court for the postponement due to outstanding information that will be required for the hearing.
Masithela reportedly went to the Kopanong Police Station to request assistance for his girlfriend whom he said had been stabbed. Police found the victim, Bongiwe Phulampa, lying in a pool of blood with multiple stab-wounds to her face and body.
Free State Premier Maqueen Letsoha-Mathae and some Members of her Executive attended todays court proceedings to highlight the scourge of gender-based violence.
Gender activist groups also attended the proceeding and held demonstrations outside the court.
