Steenkamp stated that Senzo Meyiwa was shot from the front and at close range. He also reportedly suffered internal bleeding around the most important organ, the heart.

An injury such as this, according to the pathologist, could cause instant death. In Senzo's case, it was revealed in court that he passed on minutes after he was shot.

Kelly and Zandie no longer considered murderers

As Mzansi continues to piece together the puzzle, one thing's certain: Kelly Khumalo and her sister Zandie Khumalo are no longer the people under everyone's radar.

They also gained the public's support after it was revealed in court that Senzo Meyiwa died within minutes.

"In this case, I do not think so because of the mechanism of death which I explained as possibly the blood loss… he probably would have survived seconds or minutes but definitely not hours," said Dr Johannes Steenkamp in court.
