The case against a young woman whose family turned her over to the police last year, following her alleged involvement in the murder of a woman in Extension 8, has been transferred to the Grahamstown regional court.
The 19-year-old woman appeared briefly in the Grahamstown Magistrate's Court last week, accompanied by her family.
After handing her over to the police on 9 December, her family paid her bail.
The woman was charged with murder and released on R500 bail.
Her bail application was unopposed.
At the time police spokesperson Captain Mali Govender said officers had been called to investigate a murder scene at an Extension 8 house in the early hours of that Sunday morning.
They found the victim, a woman in her mid-30s, lying in a pool of blood with a stab wound to her upper body.
Govender said the identity of the suspect was initially unknown, but it was established that a group of people had been drinking there.
After follow-up investigations the family handed the woman over to the police.
The matter was provisionally postponed to 13 February.
