Meyiwa was shot and killed at Khumalo's mother's house in Voslosrus in what is believed to have been a botched robbery, reports TimesLIVE. The state witness testified that while analysing the phone, he found that the device was rebooted.

He explained that the reboot might have been done remotely because smartphones do not require physical access to wipe the phone.

“Because it is a smartphone, you can do it via the internet, where you can access your phone and delete some of the information," testified Steyn.

Steyn revealed that he analysed the cell phone records of the occupants of the Khumalo except for Meyiwa's and Kelly's missing phone, which was believed to have been stolen during the robbery.

Steyn earlier testified that Kelly was contacted by accused number 5, Fisokuhle Nkani Ntuli, on two separate occasions before Meyiwa's tragic death.
