Senzo Meyiwa's trial continues

As Senzo Meyiwa's murder trial continues at a snail's pace, the court has revealed some new developments contradicting previous "evidence".

It is alleged that the suspected triggerman, Carlos Mncube, may have been cleared by his cellphone records, which showed that he was nowhere near the crime scene when the late Orlando Pirates goalie was murdered.

According to SowetanLIVE, cell towers picked up Mncube's phone in the Johannesburg CBD on the morning of the murder, in Vosloorus later that afternoon, and again in Joburg that evening - suggesting that he wasn't at the crime scene.

This contradicts one of the accused, Bongani Ntanzi's version of the story, which was that Mncube called him about a "job" on the day of the murder, after which he communicated with Kelly Khumalo and later killed her boyfriend.

"Just arrest the sisters and close this thing once and for all."

jeremie_mn responded:

"So, if two key pieces of evidence (DNA and Phone Map) do not put the accused on the scene, what is the state basing their case on? A lot of mistakes have been made in this case, and the state needs to punish all the officers involved."

IamMhlaba claimed:

"They killed Senzo; it's just that maybe Mncube was not the one who pulled the trigger, no matter how much the media can be bought."
