Hearing postponed for Inland Empire cult-like group members accused of murder

Members of a secretive cult-like sect accused of murder were back in court Tuesday in San Bernardino.

KTLA 5’s Mary Beth McDade was in the courtroom, where four out of the five accused killers were on Tuesday, handcuffed in their prison jumpsuits.

However, the preliminary hearing had to be postponed until Wednesday because the leader of the group, who claims to be the voice of the Lord on earth, couldn’t make it for medical reasons.

Testimony had to be postponed in the pretrial hearing of the murders of a 4-year-old boy and a former member of a secretive Inland Empire sect called His Way Spirit Led Assemblies.

Shelly “Kat” Martin, a self-proclaimed Prophetess, couldn’t make it to the San Bernardino County Superior Court for medical response.

Martin was seen in a private court appearance, along with her husband, co-leader Pastor Darryl “Muzic” Martin.
