Mosia returns to the stand in the Senzo Meyiwa murder trial

Forensic investigator Warrant Officer Thabo Mosia is expected to take the stand in the murder trial of former Bafana Bafana captain Senzo Meyiwa.

Mosia who was a constable in 2014 when Meyiwa was shot at the home of his then-girlfriend and Afro Pop singer Kelly Khumalo in Vosloorus was among the first police officers to arrive on scene.

THABO MOSIA TO TESTIFY IN THE SENZO MEYIWA MURDER TRIAL

Mosia wrapped up his testimony in August and he returns to iron out a few things the defence had with his testimony.

Mosia had testified that he left the Meyiwa murder scene to attend to two other crime scenes and returned to the Khumalo household in the early hours on 27 October. The defence lawyers then wanted to know the case numbers of the cases he said he attended but he could not provide them.

The pocket book he used to record his movements that fatal night in 2014 was then provided in court.
