The application brought by Adv Malesela Teffo to have a trial within a trial in the murder case of Orlando Pirates goalkeeper Senzo Meyiwa has been dismissed.

He said by the time Meyiwa was killed on October 26 2014, he already had eight years of work experience.

Mosia said he received internal training in forensic investigations in 2008 before being credited as a criminalistics expert in 2013.“How come you say you left the crime scene because it was beyond your capabilities? Based on the training that you had received, you were supposed to continue with the investigations because you were knowledgeable,” Mshololo said.

Mosia maintained that he left the scene at singer Kelly Khumalo’s home in Vosloorus, on the East Rand, in the hands of a senior police officer.He collected some of the evidence and then called the crime scene management team from the province.Sibiya, Ntanzi, Mthobisi Prince Mncube, Mthokoziseni Maphisa and Ntuli have been charged with Meyiwa’s murder.

The five face charges of premeditated murder, attempted murder, robbery with aggravating circumstances, possession of firearms without a licence and illegal possession of ammunition.They have argued that some of the evidence Mosia has testified that he did not capture on his arrival such as the bullet casing found in the kitchen was actually planted.
