File photo.Sgt Timothy Mathebula, who attended to the crime scene in Vosloorus in October 2014 where Senzo Meyiwa was fatally shot, says it only occurred to him that the house was a crime scene when he saw Meyiwa’s body in the hospital.
Mathebula took to the stand on Wednesday telling his version of how he responded to the scene, with three colleagues. He said upon realising that people with information were at the hospital, they asked Themba to lock up, leaving him behind and rushed to the hospital. He said at the hospital, they were taken into a room by a nurse and told Meyiwa had died.
He testified that when they returned to the house with MaKhumalo — Kelly’s mother — he then cordoned off the crime scene.
