He said that when Mahlamba’s home was searched, two pairs of bloodstained pants were found along with a pair of muddy shoes.
“The defendant lied about the second shack where a pair of bloodstained pants was found in a freezer. He said it was closed and they didn’t search him in his presence. It raises suspicions that maybe he knew the pair of pants was hidden in the freezer, ”he said.
Van Rooyen said Mahlamba had the potential to interfere with the investigations, as he knows two of the witnesses in the matter.
“He knows that his girlfriend is a key witness in the matter and there is a possibility that he will try to influence her to change her statement,” he said.
Van Rooyen postponed the matter until December 1 for further investigation.
