defence in meyiwa trial rejects ballistic evidence on bullet matches

Defence counsel Zandile Mshololo has accused ballistics analyst Chris Mangena of giving unreliable evidence in the Senzo Meyiwa trial. Mangena concluded his evidence at the High Court in Pretoria where five men are on trial for the 2014 murder of the Bafana Bafana captain.

The trial has adjourned to Monday.

While Mangena insists there is a positive link between the firearm allegedly seized from accused number 3 Mthobisi Mncube, and the bullet found at the Vosloorus murder crime scene, advocate Mshololo insists the marks on the bullet are not visible.

Mshololo: This is the exhibit before this court. This is the evidence that is before this court which depicts the striation that you were able to see when you were examining with a microscope. Otherwise, you wouldnt have printed this if its good for nothing. Its not good for nothing. Its the evidence before this court which must be accepted as reliable evidence. Im saying to you its not reliable evidence.

Mangena: I say its very much reliable.
