The trial of 22 people accused of a mob justice murder was postponed in Ngqeleni Magistrate's Court on Monday, the National Prosecuting Authority said.
The matter was put off to March 7 next year for further investigation, said Eastern Cape spokesman Luxolo Tyali.
The 22 men, aged between 18 and 47, were not kept in custody.
They are accused of stoning and beating three people, one of whom died, for suspected stock theft last Thursday. – Sapa
