Nafiz Modack trial: Hitman Mr A tells court he burnt his hands torching getaway Merc
Police cordon off the crime scene where Nico Heerschap was shot and killed by an alleged hitman in Melkbosstrand on 9 July 2019.
The man, who admitted to killing the dad of Hawks officer Nico Heerschap, allegedly by order of Nafiz Modack, testified on Tuesday things got hot for him after that - literally. Mr A, as he is identified in the trial, said he set his hands on fire by accident while he was torching the luxurious black Mercedes-Benz used for the hit in Melkbosstrand on 9 July 2019.
He was testifying on the second day of the long-awaited trial involving Modack and 14 others, which covers allegations that include the murder of Anti-Gang Unit detective Charl Kinnear, pensioner Nicholaas Heerschap, tow truck driver Richard Joseph, Cubana employee Pitsou Falanga, and the attempted murder of lawyer William Booth.
