A source who spoke to TimesLIVE this week said that, last month, police managed to recover the getaway vehicle used in the murder of Forbes and Motsoane.
The vehicle, a white Mercedes-Benz C-Class sedan with a damaged tail light, was identified via CCTV footage gathered by detectives from residential premises near Florida Road.In court, advocate Annelene van den Heever, representing Ngcobo, argued that her client should have been released as he had been in custody for more than 48 hours. She said the delay in transporting Ngcobo was because the police needed to arrange a convoy to transport the suspects on the road, and other logistics issues.
She said they have been in existence for years and were not established to investigate the assassination of a celebrity. “They are dealing with a lot of dockets and this case is indeed one of them. I am not going to dwell on the murder of the celebrity star because this man has nothing to do with that matter,” said Pillay.
She argued that there was no illegal detention of the accused or the other three people who had been released. After several delays in court, magistrate Ashwin Singh granted the state's application for an adjournment.
