The trial of Christian Kudumo, accused of killing his wife Augustinu Andeline Chicalu last year, could be headed to the Oshakati High Court.

State Advocate Johan Pienaar says the state is expected to submit this month for the case to be heard at the High Court.

The family of Augustinu Andeline Chikalu handed a petition to the Rundu Magistrate's Court against Kudumo's release on bail.

Pienaar told them that the DNA test results were still outstanding and needed to be submitted along with the case docket to the Oshakati High Court.
