Zane Kilian, the man accused of killing Lt-Col Charl Kinnear, has been added as accused number six in a case involving five suspects arrested in connection with the failed attempt to murder prominent Cape Town defence attorney William Booth.

The charge sheet now reads: the State versus Kauthar Brown, Ebrahim Deare, Riyaad Gesant, Kim Kashiefa Smith, Igsaan Williams and Zane Kilian.

Booth had been inside his home in Cape Town when two suspects wearing surgical masks fired shots at his residence but failed in their attempt and fortunately missed, police said at the time. The State claims the five accused were members of the Terrible West Side gang from Woodstock, who were involved in violent crimes including conspiracy to commit murder, attempted murder, possession of firearms and dealing in drugs.

Booth has defended many of Cape Town’s most notorious gangsters in the Western Cape, frequently winning his cases and keeping his clients out of jail.
