Darryl Murrisson and Christopher Housten have been charged with Bianca Parsons' murder.

Parsons was shot dead while sitting in her car with her three-year-old daughter.

It's emerged in court that Parsons was killed in a case of mistaken identity, as another person had been the intended target.

Senior State prosecutor - Calvin Singh told the Durban High Court today that he was in the process of finalising trial procedures. 

He said by doing this, the trial  - which was initially expected to take place over three weeks - will conclude in a shorter period.

The trial is now expected to begin tomorrow. 

It's been almost a year since Bianca Parsons was killed at a garage in Tara Road - south of Durban. 

Her family says while it's expecting a painful and difficult week ahead - it's looking forward to getting some closure.
