SA court sets aside two days for bail hearing in murder-for-insurance case

Date: Jul 2, 2025

The bail application of three people accused of nine murders for insurance claims is expected to resume in the Polokwane Magistrate’s Court in South Africa’s Limpopo Province

Sergeant Rachel Kutumela; her sister, Anna Shokane and daughter, Flora Shokane allegedly benefited hundreds of thousands of Dollars after nine people died mysteriously.

The Investigating Officer on the case, Keshi Mabunda, is expected to testify, opposing bail.

In the previous appearance Mabunda told the court that whenever the insurance claims were paid, Kutumela and Shokane would transfer funds to each other, and to Shokane and other family members.

He further went on to say that Kutumela has since resigned from the South African Police Service.  Kutumela's alleged insurance killing spree started in 2017.

Investigations into the involvement of the accused's other family members are on-going. The bail application will now be heard between for two days.
