Dr Letlape is expected to take the stand as part of sentencing proceedings. Victim Impact Statements from other family members will also be submitted.
The Letlapes have their eye on another bereaved family, that of Leigh Matthews, and know that a maximum sentence may not be enough.
The case has been postponed to Thursday.
