Sealy’s sufficiency hearing set for October 27

The suf­fi­cien­cy hear­ing of the eight charges lev­elled against hair styl­ist Ka­ia Sealy, re­lat­ed to a fa­tal po­lice-in­volved shoot­ing in Jan­u­ary which claimed the life of her part­ner Joshua Sama­roo, is set to go ahead as sched­uled lat­er this month.

Dur­ing a sta­tus hear­ing on Thurs­day, High Court Mas­ter Nazeera Ali ex­tend­ed dead­lines for pros­e­cu­tors to file and serve their re­main­ing wit­ness state­ments and for Sealy’s lawyers to file their ev­i­den­tial ob­jec­tions and sub­mis­sions.

Mas­ter Ali re­served Oc­to­ber 27 for the suf­fi­cien­cy hear­ing, in which she would con­sid­er the ev­i­dence pre­sent­ed by the State and de­ter­mine whether such is enough to war­rant an even­tu­al tri­al in the High Court.
