The accused in Senzo Meyiwa's murder are said to have pointed fingers at Kelly Khumalo as the mastermind behind her late boyfriend's killing.

This was after Judge Ratha Mokgoatlheng reportedly ruled that the confessions made by Muzi Sibiya and Bongani Ntanzi were voluntary and not coerced, as previously stated.

Moreover, according to SowetanLIVE, the court further ruled that the statements made by the men were admissible and would be tested in court.

Kelly and her family have, over the years, maintained her innocence and claimed she had no involvement in the decade-long murder mystery.

However, after bombshell revelations that the Asine hitmaker had ties with the suspects, her innocence is now questioned. It was revealed that Kelly had multiple cell phones that linked her to the suspects and the texts she reportedly sent to her sister, Zandi.
