Teffo, who is representing four out of the five accused men stated in court that a woman's DNA was actually found on the hat, reports News24. Mosia, who was one of the first people on the scene told the court in his testimony that he believed that the hat was worn by the killer.

Mosia stated that the hat was worn by one of the suspects who entered the house through the kitchen door and stated that he also received confirmation about this from Kelly Khumalo, who was Meyiwa's girlfriend at the time.

Accused number three, Mthobisi Prince Mncube is being accused of being the gunman and Teffo highlighted that Mncube is not a woman as the DNA states. Mosia explained that while he may have collected evidence from the crime scene, he did not have access to the DNA results, reports The Citizen.

Teffo also questioned why a walking stick which was allegedly used to attack one of the intruders by Zandie Khumalo was not bagged as evidence because it could have carried the killer's DNA. Mosia explained that he did not bag the walking stick because the other police officers did not inform him about the walking stick.
