DONNA Vasyli, who is scheduled to stand trial in two weeks for the murder of her millionaire husband, appeared in Supreme Court yesterday for a status hearing.
The Australian widow of podiatrist Phillip Vasyli appeared before Acting Justice Cheryl Grant-Bethel hoping that her lawyers, Elliot Lockhart, QC, and veteran attorney Murrio Ducille, would receive a forensic evidence report due to them for her case against the capital charge.
Her husband was fatally stabbed at their Old Fort Bay home on March 24.
Prosecutor Neil Braithwaite, however, advised the court that the report was not ready.
Vasyli’s legal team took exception and sought a new date that would allow them adequate time to prepare.
However, the case is still set to proceed on September 7 as no new date was set.
Vasyli, in the interim, remains on $200,000 bail.
The accused, as conditions to her bond, was required to surrender her passport to the court, be fitted with an electronic monitoring device, be placed under house arrest until the completion of her trial and report to the police station closest to her home three days a week on or before 6pm.
