Captain Solomon Modisane appearing before the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry.
The AK-47 rifle that was found in the possession of murder accused Katiso “KT” Molefe and Warrant Officer Pule Tau in Bramley, after Vereeniging Engineer Armand Swart was gunned down, has been linked to the murders of DJ Sumbody, DJ Vintos and Don Tindleni.
This is according to senior forensic analyst Captain Solomon Modisane, who is testifying at the Madlanga Commission.
Modisane works with ballistic forensics attached to the Political Killings Task Team in KwaZulu-Natal.
“That AK-47, commissioners, is the same AK-47 that was found in possession of the suspects that were arrested in Bramley, case 149 of 4-2024. This is the same gun, commissioners, that murdered DJ Sumbody and DJ Vintos and Mr. Don Tindleni.”
Modisane has told the commission that he was assigned to the Political Killings Task Team (PKTT) to assist with the forensic ballistic examinations in order to link politically related killings.
“I was requested to do a comparative ballistics examination by comparing the ballistics results on Bramley Case 14904/2024, which is the murder of Mr Swart. I was requested to compare it with the Sandton Case 398 of 11/2022, where DJ Sumbody was murdered, together with his bodyguards. The other case was Orlando Case 93 of 2/2023, where Mr Don Tindleni was killed. And the third case was Orlando Case 220 of 3/2022, where DJ Vintos was killed.”
