The lead investigating officer in the Senzo Meyiwa murder case was asked what he found questionable about the statements of those who were in the house on the night Meyiwa was murdered.
The Bafana Bafana captain was shot and killed in 2014 in Vosloorus on Gautengs East Rand. Five men are on trial at the High Court in Pretoria.
In response to questions from defence counsel Charles Mnisi, Brigadier Bongani Gininda says that when investigations began, it was alleged that no intruders had entered Khumalos home.
Mnisi asks, What is it that you found in their statements which made you say that their statements were questionable?
Gininda responds, There were allegations that there were no intruders which would mean that the people who were inside the house would be misleading, so my view was that because there was a dark cloud hanging over them then I should park the statements and look at the objective evidence to either find evidence that supports that there were intruders or that discredit that part.
