Monday, January 22, 2024 – The murder trial of a man from KwaZulu-Natal, who allegedly shot his estranged wife 12 times in Pietermaritzburg and threatened to kill their four-year-old daughter, has been postponed.
Ian Rawlins, 46, appeared in the Pietermaritzburg high court
on Monday where his trial was due to start.
However, due to the unavailability of Rawlins’ attorney, the
matter was postponed.
Rawlins is charged with the murder of popular gospel singer
Delana Cader Rawlins, 46.
Delana was shot dead on the eve of Mother’s Day
last year after they had a dispute at a family gathering.
Rawlins, a businessman, was charged with murder and had his
bail application denied in June.
In his affidavit, he said he married Delana in 2015 but they
had been in a relationship since 2013.
They had been apart since November 2022 but were
reconciling.
The matter was postponed to February 14 for trial.
