CAPE TOWN – The man accused of tracking the cell phone of murdered detective Charl Kinnear returns to court Monday.
Zane Killian was arrested in Gauteng shortly after Kinnear was shot and killed outside his Bishop Lavis home more than two weeks ago.
Kinnear was part of the Anti-Gang Unit and was tasked with investigating various cases related to the criminal underworld. He was buried over the weekend.
Those who worked closely with him said they robbed the South African Police Service (SAPS) as he lost one of the best detectives in the country.
Police Minister Bheki Cele, who was at the funeral, said the loss was enormous and that no police officer would rest until they knew what happened to Kinnear.
“There is an extra pain that we feel here in this province. I bury the police and I bury them with a clean heart and I say they were buried fighting crime on behalf of the nation, “he said.
The sole defendant in his murder was expected to appear before Bishop Lavis’ Magistrates Court.
Killian was charged with murder, conspiracy to commit murder, and illegal wiretapping.
The man who shot Kinnear and those who ordered his death had not yet been arrested.
