Chinese national Susu’s case adjourned to August 19

Senior Resident Magistrate James Mankhwazi has adjourned to August 19 the case involving Chinese National Lu Ke, popularly known as Susu.

Today Susu failed to take plea after it was revealed that the state was not ready with some disclosures.

Senior State Advocate, Sarah Mwangonde, has since assured the court that the additional disclosures will be made available within seven days.

The defense, through lawyer Andy Kaonga, agreed with the proposal observing, however, that Lu Ke would not take plea in the absence of the disclosures and screening the amended charge sheet.

Lu Ke is facing three fresh charges, money laundering, and procurement of a child to perform in public and cyber security crime.
