A slick car thief managed to steal the car of one of the three men accused of murdering Cape Town lawyer Pete Mihalik, the Western Cape High Court heard on Thursday. | itchybyte

The hapless Nkosinathi Khumalo continued his testimony on why the police had pulled in the wrong person within an hour of the shooting in Green Point on 30 October 2018.

On his way out of the CBD, he was pulled over for jumping a stop street in the Somerset Road area of Green Point. Khumalo resumed answering questions on Thursday, saying he did not even realise the car had been stolen while getting his fine.

The State alleges that he panicked at the stop after the shooting, left the scene with the alleged shooter, co-accused Sizwe Biyela, in the passenger seat, dumped the car somewhere, and then returned on foot with apologies for leaving the scene. On Thursday, Khumalo blamed a second Legal Aid lawyer, who he eventually fired, for not bringing the traffic officer, Boy Makhutu, back to court. He had hoped that the lawyer would force Makhutu to acknowledge lying about him leaving the traffic stop.
