Magistrate Carlo Labuschagne delivered the ruling.
"The court is satisfied that the respondent presented sufficient evidence that there is a prima facie case on murder charges and that this evidence also indicate a motive to substantiate the submissions by the respondent that this was a premeditated murder, which was most likely committed by the applicant," says Labuschagne.
The case has been postponed to 28 July for further investigations.
