Gardee accused's lawyer denies being part of conspiracy to murder witness

Investigating officer Col Thamsanqa Mkhaliphi told the Nelspruit magistrate's court on Tuesday that the accused – Sipho Mkhatshwa, Philemon Lukhele and Albert Gama – and their lawyer had hatched a plan to kill a witness.

"It was put to one of the witnesses during the bail application of accused one [Mkhatshwa] on why is Adv Mlilo not arrested or if he will ever be arrested," he said. "I told him that I appreciate what he said to me and I told my clients, their family and comrades. However, in that view and matter, I would like to put it on record that I deny having been part of a conspiracy to murder any witness," said Mlilo.
