The attorney representing a former Mpumalanga ANC councillor accused of double murder in the politically strife-torn Barberton area has poured cold water on the state’s case, calling it “weak.”
The Hawks have arrested more senior government officials who are allegedly linked to fraudulent activities.
Nkosi was charged for the murder of off-duty policeman, Detective Constable Nkosinathi Lucky Ngwenya, and Jafta Mnisi on October 16.New twist as witness in former MEC’s double-murder case in dock, accused of killing a cop Nkosi has been locked in police cells since his arrest on November 23. The Barberton Magistrates’ Court will only deliver its decision on his bail application on December 6.“The accused was home with his wife and brother when the incident happened, but the investigating officer never bothered to take statements from them because he had concluded that they would lie,” Madonsela said.
Msibi handed himself over to the police on October 11. He and two co-accused, Joseph Charlie Ngwenya and Tshepo Matsane , have since been charged with murder and attempted murder. They were released on R20 000 bail each.
