According to the death declaration from a nurse who attended to Meyiwa when he arrived at the hospital, the footballer was not breathing and had no pulse on arrival.

This was revealed by defence lawyer, Advocate Zandile Mshololo, on Thursday during cross-examination of Meyiwa's childhood friend, Tumelo Madlala, who was present in the house when the footballer was shot.Meyiwa was fatally shot in what the state alleges was a botched robbery that took place on October 26, 2014, at Khumalo’s house in Vosloorus, east of Johannesburg. Five men are standing trial for the murder.

In a letter submitted by the director of public prosecutions in Gauteng during the previous trial, it was stated that charges could be preferred against the people who were inside the house - including Madlala, Khumalo, her sister Zandile Khumalo-Gumede - once the current trial against the five accused men has concluded.

While he was aware of the second docket, Madlala said he was waiting impatiently for a decision to be taken on the status of the docket.Muzikawukhulelwa Sthemba Sibiya, Bongani Sandiso Ntanzi, Mthobisi Prince Ncube, Mthokoziseni Ziphozonke Maphisa and Sifisokuhle Ntuli are standing trial for Meyiwa's murder.
