Joanne Swartbooi briefly reappeared in the Palm Ridge Magistrate’s Court on March 17.
The matter was postponed to May 4 for further investigation due to outstanding forensic analysis and DNA results.
The 36-year-old mother of three faces a charge of murder after being accused of killing her boyfriend, Timothy Jacobs, with a baseball bat and burning his body.

She remains in custody after she was denied bail. The accused has since denied the allegations against her.
