Adv Zandile Mshololo has argued that some of the evidence that is said to have been found by the police on the scene where Senzo Meyiwa was gunned down was actually planted and did not exist.
“The reason why you did not mention that you kept such crucial evidence in your own safe is because they never existed. You never retrieved them from the crime scene and there is no record as to where they were stored because they were planted on the crime scene.”
He told the court that he only captured the evidence when he returned to the crime scene for the second time on October 27 2014. Since the beginning of the week, the defence has been hard at work poking holes on Mosia’s evidence to show that the evidence he found on the scene does not exist and that the scene he testified to have taken control of was already contaminated.
