Defence counsel consults with the accused in the Senzo Meyiwa trial.
Lead investigating officer in the Senzo Meyiwa murder case, Bongani Gininda, says there is sufficient evidence that places accused number three, Mthobisi Mncube, at a hostel not far from the scene of the crime the day Meyiwa was murdered.
Mncube and four others are on trial at the High Court in Pretoria for the 2014 murder of the Bafana Bafana captain.
Meyiwa was shot and killed while at Kelly Khumalo’s parental home in Vosloorus on Gauteng’s East Rand.
Brigadier Gininda has been responding to questions by defence counsel Charles Mnisi.
“It was also confirmed, my Lord, during the investigation, that during the afternoon – although I will not be certain about the timeline – but in the afternoon of the date of the incident accused three was indeed in the Vosloorus area which is the jurisdiction area of where this incident occurred, forensic evidence in terms of location that afternoon (confirms) he was in Vosloorus. The phone location correlated by witnesses that we uncovered during the course of the incident places him at the Basotho hostel in the afternoon,” says Gininda.
Mnisi: Can you also show us the pic of the downloads of accused 3 phone which shows the firearm used in the commission of the offence
Gininda: I said my view is that Photo 38 depicts rifle and pistol. This pistol looks similar to the firearm that discharged…
