Mohamed Vahed Ebrahim, the man found guilty of killing Durban schoolboy Miguel Louw, is expected to know his fate on May 5.
KwaZulu-Natal National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) spokesperson Natasha Kara said on Friday the matter was postponed to May 5 for sentencing proceedings.
On Monday, closing arguments were heard in the Durban high court after 46-year-old Ebrahim was found guilty earlier this year of kidnapping and murdering the young boy in July 2018, apparently because his mother had spurned his romantic advances.

A 28-year-old man was sentenced to life imprisonment in the Verulam regional court this week for raping his minor niece.
The 8-year-old was visiting her grandmother in Ndwedwe, outside Durban, in December 2019 when she met her uncle who lived in the area.
According to KwaZulu-Natal National Prosecuting Authority spokesperson Natasha Kara, the man took the girl to a shop where he bought her chips and a lollipop.
“Then he asked her to accompany him to his house. On the way, he led her to a river where he raped her and gave her R2 with the promise of R100 if she did not tell anyone what he had done.
