The state have alleged that the former Bafana Bafana captain was fatally shot in a botched robbery.
“On the door, the bullet did not perforate the door but ricocheted on it,” Mangena said on Wednesday.
He highlighted the similarities between the ballistics test bullets and exhibit crime scene bullets, which matched. As to why no cartridges were found at the crime scene, Mangena said it could be that the cartridge was stuck in the gun.Earlier, Mangena told the court that, after examining his clothes and the crime scene, he concluded that Meyiwa was shot at close range.
“The bullet perforated the body and hit the door behind him. The damage on the door indicated the bullet was unstable after exiting the deceased’s body,” Mangena continued.
