During the court proceedings today, the police asked for more time to complete the file.
Rahim is expected to return to court on December 29 when the police will be expected to give a progress report.
It was reported that the heinous crime was witnessed by one of the couple’s children who told investigators that his parents were out at a birthday party which was held in the said yard where he saw his mother and father consuming alcohol.
After the parents returned home, the child said he heard his mother and father arguing.
