Senzo Meyiwa trial: Accused misled police about co-accused in confession statement, court hears

In his confession statement, Muzi Sibiya implicated two men in the murder of Bafana Bafana captain Senzo Meyiwa. However, it turns out that both men were in prison at the time.

Sibiya is one of five men on trial in the Gauteng High Court in Pretoria for the murder of Meyiwa, who was shot and killed while visiting his girlfriend, Kelly Khumalo, on 26 October 2014.

In the confession, which Judge Ratha Mokgoatlheng ruled was made freely and voluntarily, Sibiya named Makho Buthelezi and Makhimba Buthelezi as the two men who helped him carry out a hit on Meyiwa.
