NATIONAL NEWS - The Western Cape High Court has issued a warrant ordering murder accused Jason Rohde to appear on Wednesday or face arrest.
Rohde has been absent for a second consecutive day at his murder trial.
His lawyer on Monday told the court he’d been hospitalised. Rohde is accused of killing his wife Susan Rohde in 2016.
Her death was initially thought to have been a suicide, but a state post mortem later revealed she was strangled.
At the start of proceedings on Tuesday, the defence highlighted, in terms of the Criminal Procedures Act, that the accused has to be present for the trial to resume.
