Convicted rapist and murderer Thabo Bester is set to return to the Free State High Court on Wednesday for a pre-trial hearing. He will be joined by eight co-accused, including his alleged accomplice, Nandipha Magudumana.

During their last court appearance, the proceedings were postponed due to the withdrawal of a lawyer representing two of the accused. Bester's new legal team also attempted to file a jurisdictional application, but the court deemed it premature.

The defendants face multiple charges, including fraud, corruption, violation of a corpse, and arson.
