They face charges of murder, but Magistrate Mutinta Mwenya could not address the charges due to errors on the indictment, including the absence of a date.

The State had requested an adjournment to correct these issues and the case had been rescheduled for September 23.

Muleya’s body was found with gunshot wounds on the outskirts of Lusaka in July.
