Explosive evidence emerged during the bail request in Protea Magistrates Court of three Eldorado Park police officers accused of killing 16-year-old Nathaniel Julies.
Two officers who were present when Julies was killed have implicated each other.
Agent Caylene Whiteboy, 23, alleged she was framed by her co-defendant and colleague, Sergeant Simon Scorpion Ndyalvane, 46.
Whiteboy said he fired lethal and forbidden ammunition, unknowingly, at Julies, who was standing next to a white truck outside her home in August.
Whiteboy also claimed that he had previously used the same firearm containing rubber bullets to disperse a crowd at Freedom Park near Eldorado Park.
However, later in the evening, he used the same firearm, unaware that it had been loaded with live ammunition under the instructions of Ndyalvane, who was his senior at the time.

“Then I realized that the force of the weapon was different than what I had used earlier when I fired into the crowd at Freedom Park, and I became hysterical. I asked him why they gave me a firearm loaded with live ammunition, and then Ndyalvane went to great lengths with me to fabricate evidence against what I had done.
“I refused to follow his instructions. When I asked Ndyalvane what ammunition was loaded in the gun, he ran over to Julies and loaded him into our police vehicle. We drove to Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital. Upon arrival, I pulled out a stretcher and, just two minutes later, Julies was certified dead, “Whiteboy said.
Whiteboy said that after the incident, Ndyalvane ordered her to submit a false statement implicating her.
“After my arrest, I received death threats from Ndyalvane, who ordered me to carry out his instructions. He also sent me a statement ordering me to appear in court. That statement exonerated him and implicated only me as the sole author.
“He continued to threaten to kill me if I did not comply with the statement he had sent me,” Whiteboy testified.

Ndyalvane has a criminal record of common assault, of which he was convicted in 2010.
He told the court that Whiteboy fired the firearm that was loaded with live ammunition.
He claimed that he was innocent and would plead not guilty.
Another co-defendant, Detective Sergeant Foster Netshiongolo, claimed he was off duty at the time and was called to the hospital, then went to the location where he removed the spent cartridges.
The case continues.
