Gauteng police have opened a murder case after the widow of a senior police officer involved in the Senzo Meyiwa murder investigation was killed in a drive-by shooting.
The late Brig Philani Ndlovu, through a statement he made before his death in May this year, denied that he was in charge of the crime scene where Senzo Meyiwa was murdered in 2014.
The defence for one of the accused in the Senzo Meyiwa murder trial, Zandile Mshololo, told the Pretoria high court the prosecution’s previous non-disclosure of the contents in the second docket opened in 2019 has led to the violation of her client’s constitutional rights.
A state forensic witness in the Senzo Meyiwa murder trial was questioned on Friday about why he did not do gunshot residue tests on the hands of people who were inside the house at the time of the fatal shooting.
The trial of the five men accused of killing Senzo Meyiwa had to take a short adjournment after the judge realised that the state’s first witness, Sgt Thabo Mosia, needs an interpreter.
