Picture: Gallo Images/Phill MagakoeThe trial resumed in the Gauteng High Court in Pretoria on Wednesday, but was postponed after a request from the defence.During proceedings, prosecutor George Baloyi told the court the state was ready to lead evidence on the statements made by the accused in the trial.
However, Advocate Sipho Ramosepele, counsel for Sibiya and Ntanzi, asked the court to dismiss the alleged confession statements, arguing they were made because police allegedly tortured and coerced them into doing so. Ramosepele challenged the state’s move, saying there was a certain transaction Ntanzi made in KwaZulu-Natal which was missing from the bank records.
