Adv Teffo: Are you now aware that there are two cases that have been opened in regards to this murder?

Mosia: Now I know.
Adv Teffo: The theory of the first case is that two men entered the house and when they left, our hero #SenzoMeyiwa was killed. Leading to the five men behind me being arrested. Can you see them?

Mosia: I see them.
Adv Teffo: The other case says it is nonsensical that two people entered that house. What is being said is that there were people in that house that day, the owner, family and visitors, including our beloved son of the soul. #SenzoMeyiwa.
Adv Teffo: It also says the killer and the murder weapon was in the house. #SenzoMeyiwatrial
Adv Teffo: The second case stipulates that the suspect is someone who was in the house with the deceased on that day.
What do you say?

Mosia: I cannot comment on anything that involves investigations. I can only comment on what I did on the crime scene
#SenzoMeyiwatrial
Adv Teffo: According to this case number, seven people were supposed to be arrested and charged were in that house. Any comment?

Mosia: No comment
Adv Teffo: The names of the people who should be arrested and charged.

Mosia reads the names: Accused 1: Longwe Twala
Accused 2: Kelly Khumalo
Accused 3: Gladnys Khumalo
Accused 4: Zandile Khumalo
Accused 5:Tumelo Madlala
Accused 6: Mthokozisi Twala
Accused 7: Maggie Phiri
Adv Teffo: Charges should be: murder and defeating the ends of justice.

"The accused unlawfully and with intent defeated the ends of justice. Accused 1 - 6 hashed a plan to say they were robbed by unknown person.
Accused 7 cleaned the crime scene."
Adv Teffo is reading from the second case docket.
Adv Teffo: the relevant people to be charged to say what happened to #SenzoMeyiwa are them. Not my clients.

#SenzoMeyiwatrial.

We agree with the theory of cas 375. Can the honourable court release our clients and can the court orders NPA to charge the right people.
Judge: I will not sit at the bench and order the NPA to charge people.

#SenzoMeyiwa #SenzoMeyiwatrial
Adv Teffo: according to the information we have: The DPP had every intention to arrest the 7 people in the house but that did not happen. Instead the five people here became scapegoats. #SenzoMeyiwa

Judge: But I am presented with five people who are accused of the murder.
Adv Teffo: Do you think the relevant people to be charged are the people you whose names you've read out.

Mosia: I have no comment
Adv Teffo: The conduct of the driver of the car specifically by moving the body amounts to defeating the ends of justice and concealing a death.

Mosia: no comment

#SenzoMeyiwatrial #SenzoMeyiwa
Adv Teffo: There will be a witness who will testify that #SenzoMeyiwa was shot with a revolver and not a 9mm. What do you say?

Mosia: No commet
Adv Teffo: in your evidence you conceded that if there was any firearm that shot on that day it cannot be a 9mm. But it was a revolver.

#SenzoMeyiwaTrial
Mosia: I answered in that manner as an opinion. If a firearm is used and you don't find cartridge at the scene, it may happen that it was a revolver or the shooter clean up the cartridges

#SenzoMeyiwa #SenzoMeyiwaTrail
