I was told to kill a white man in a Mercedes-Benz, says suspect in an affidavit.
Cape Town - The murder of Cape Town lawyer Pete Mihalik in October last year was planned, and the suspect who shot him said in an affidavit, he was told he must kill a white man in a Mercedes-Benz. The evidence emerged on Wednesday in the Cape Town Magistrate’s Court during the bail application of three accused men - Sizwe Sinsokohle Biyela, 26, Nkonsinathi Khumalo, 31 and Cape Town taxi owner Vuyile Maliti.
State prosecutor Helena Booysen told the court the accused fled the scene at high speed but it was a traffic transgression and the issuing of a fine that set the wheels for their arrests in motion. In their respective affidavits the trio say they would be pleading not guilty to charges of murder, attempted murder and the illegal possession of a firearm.
