Lord of the Dance murder trial set down for May

A date has been set in the Johannesburg High Court for the trial of the alleged murderer of Lord of the Dance production member Darryl Kempster.

Jubulani Moyo (23) accused of killing Kempster, a British citizen, on June 27 last year, will stand trial between May 10 and 20.

Kempster was robbed of his laptop and shot and killed as he was walking from the Nelson Mandela theatre to the Parktonian Hotel in the city.

After numerous appearances in the Magistrate’s Court, Moyo’s case was transferred to the Johannesburg High Court for trial. – Sapa
