The murder trial of former Kempton Park hairdresser, Denise Hattingh, has once again been postponed—this time to October 1.

Hattingh appeared briefly in the Kempton Park Regional Court today, September 30, but due to time constraints and delays in other proceedings earlier in the day, the matter was set aside to continue tomorrow.

Hattingh is expected to enter a guilty plea once proceedings resume.

@kemptonexpress Denise Hattingh – September 30, 2025: The murder trial of former Kempton Park hairdresser, Denise Hattingh, has once again been postponed, this time to October 1. Hattingh appeared briefly in the Kempton Park Regional Court today, September 30, but due to time constraints and delays in other proceedings earlier in the day, the matter was set aside to continue tomorrow. Hattingh is expected to enter a guilty plea once proceedings resume. The case has faced numerous delays since July, ranging from transport issues and administrative hold-ups to outstanding reports and plea preparations. Her attorney, Obed Lewete, previously confirmed that a draft plea was prepared, but he needed to consult with Hattingh before it could be finalised. Hattingh is accused of murdering 29-year-old Markus Greeff on May 15, 2024, at a property on West Street in Pomona. She was arrested the following day. #kemptonexpress #kemptonpark #crimetok #Crime #SAPS #kempton #TiktokNews #Murder #court #incourt #localnews #DeniseHattingh ♬ original sound – KemptonExpress
