Closing arguments and judgment to determine why there was no search warrant for a raid at alleged kingpin Fadwaan “Vet” Murphy’s drug warehouse has been postponed for a week for his lawyer to recover after he was admitted to hospital.
On Tuesday, closing arguments and judgment was set to begin at the Cape High Court for the trial within a trial.
But proceedings were placed on hold after Murphy’s lawyer, Advocate Jan van der Berg, fell sick.
Details of his illness have not been revealed.
The matter was postponed to 6 November.
Cops confiscated drugs and R4 million in cash at the house in Reindeer Street, Lotus River, in September 2015.
