Briefly News previously reported that explosive details of Prince Lethukuthula Zulu’s death were brought to light during the cross-examination of Investigating Officer Sgt Mokwena Mojapelo on Thursday, 6 October. The son of the late AmaZulu King Goodwill Zwelithini kaBhekuzulu died from a cocaine overdose.

Mojapelo told the Johannesburg High Court that he gathered evidence which led him to the arrest of Tshefogatso Moremane, Margaret Koaile, Portia Mmola, Gontse Tlhoele and the late Dakalo Mbedzi. He said that security guards found Zulu dead at his home in a complex in Northwold in 2020.

The investigating officer told the court that Moremane’s right index fingerprint was found in a bowl in Zulu’s house. He said video footage from the complex showed the vehicle the suspects had been travelling in was at the complex on the day of the death.
