Judgement in the murder trial against the former police officer Rosemary Nomia Ndlovu, has been reserved at the Palm Ridge Magistrate’s Court.
Judge Ramarumo Monama says the verdict will be read out at the same court next week Friday.
Ndlovu has been accused of orchestrating the murders of five relatives and her lover to cash in on insurance claims between 2012 and 2018.
It is alleged that Ndlovu benefitted nearly R1.4 million from the claims.
In the closing arguments, State prosecutor Riana Williams stated that there is enough evidence before the court for it to find Ndlovu guilty.
Williams identified a pattern of inconsistencies in Ndlovu’s statements to the court.
The prosecution also noted that Ndlovu became evasive and even argumentative in court when she failed to explain inconsistencies in some of her statements.
The State also established some similarities in how Ndlovu responded to the multiple murders.
The former Tembisa constable has denied any involvement in the deaths of her relatives and boyfriend.
Judgment in the matter is expected to be handed down on Friday 22 October.
