The ALLEGED underworld boss Nafiz Modack has alleged that police officer Charl Kinnear was on his payroll.
Modack made the accusations yesterday after the court appearance of Zane Killian, who has been charged with Kinnear’s murder.
Kinnear was shot and killed outside his home in an alleged coup earlier this month. Killian is believed to have tracked down Kinnear through his phone.
Modack said: “There is a case on this. He (Kinnear) was on my payroll for the return of my firearms. “
“I hope they find their (Kinnear) killers and they need to do it urgently, they need to look at their close friends,” Modack said.
Kinnear’s wife, Nicolette, dismissed these claims, saying: “All other investigations indicate that he (Modack) is still trying to get his things back. It just doesn’t make sense. “
Killian’s investigating attorney, Eric Breyer, said the allegations against Kinnear were just hearsay.
Killian made his third appearance in Bishop Lavis Magistrates Court yesterday on charges of murder, conspiracy to commit murder and unlawful wiretapping. The matter was scheduled to be transferred to a regional court for security reasons, but no court had been appointed.
“My client has been in custody for the past 17 days and the procedures to request a bond have not started, his constitutional rights are being violated,” said Breyer.
The National Prosecutor’s Office said they would oppose the bail if the defense filed a request.
The defense released evidence showing that Killian is a Private Security Industry Regulation (PSiRA) registered investigator, allowing him to track and trace.
PSIRA’s Mandate is derived from the Private Security Industry Regulation Act 56 of 2001.
Mike Bolhuis, a private investigator, said: “If that facet of the coup that was ordered and built was not executed by the track and plotter, the coup would not have occurred, therefore that in itself is a crime.
“However, in a case where private information is tracked and traced without the consent of the person, it is illegal. It is necessary to have the consent of the person, it must always be an agreement and if information is tracked and traced in the digital field, a specific document from the police is needed and there must be a court order, ”said Bolhuis.
On Thursday, residents signed a petition, created by the Bishop Lavis Community Police Forum, asking that Killian be denied bail, who was held until Oct. 14.
