'Gun photos could have been from Google': Defence lawyer in Senzo Meyiwa trial | The Citizen

Previous state witnesses in the trial testified that one of the intruders alleged to be behind Meyiwa’s killing had dreadlocks.Continuing with his cross-examination of Mabasa on Wednesday, Mncube’s lawyer, advocate Charles Mnisi, insisted on focusing on the dreadlocks, despite admitting earlier this week the man depicted in the pictures with dreadlocks“Without getting you into an identification parade of some sort, I am putting it to you that is not accused three,” Mnisi said.

“What I am saying, my Lord, is that whether or not in the cellphone that was confiscated from the accused had certain photos of [guns] is not offence because I can go on Google and download a photo of an AK47 and store it in my phone,” Mnisi said. The officer then concluded his evidence after Advocate Sipho Ramosepele, Advocate Zithulele Nxumalo and Advocate Zandile Mshololo elected not to cross-examine the witness.The state called its sixth witness, Mthokozisi Thwala, who was one of the six people in the house of his then-girlfriend and singer Kelly Khumalo’s mother in Vosloorus when Meyiwa was shot on 26 October 2014.

Mncube, Fisokuhle Ntuli, Bongani Ntanzi, Mthokoziseni Maphisa and Muzikawukhulelwa Sibiya are on trial for the footballer’s murder. The suspects face charges of murder, attempted murder, robbery with aggravating circumstances, possession of an unlicenced firearm, and possession of ammunition.
