Lieutenant Colonel Thobeka Mhlahlo has confirmed she discovered the much-talked-about bullet projectile at the scene of Senzo Meyiwa’s murder.
Meyiwa was shot and killed on the 26of October 2014, when allegedly two intruders entered the house and demanded cellphones and money before a scuffle ensued during which the fatal shot was fired.
Five men are standing trial for the murder, as well as facing charges of robbery with aggravating circumstances and unlawful possession of a firearm and ammunition. Mosia, who concluded his giving evidence in court ahead of Mhlahlo’s testimony, also told the court that the bullet projectile was discovered only the next morning by the lieutenant colonel.
He has told the court he did not notice any projectile on his first visit to the scene about 20 minutes after midnight. Court proceedings took a short adjournment on Tuesday morning when counsels agreed that more copies of postmortem pictures should be made to avoid the pictures being displayed in court.Mshololo says extra copies are needed for the accused.
