Mkhwanazi, co-accused return to court over Mbense murder case
The six accused face charges of murder, robbery and defeating the ends of justice
Suspended Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Police Department Deputy Chief Julius Mkhwanazi and five others are set to return to court over the Mbense murder case. The six individuals are charged with murder, robbery, and defeating the ends of justice, stemming from their alleged involvement in Emmanuel Mbense's 2022 murder. Mbense was reportedly kidnapped, tortured, and his body disposed of in a dam in Nigel.
The Independent Police Investigative Directorate (IPID) investigating officer faced cross-examination from the legal team of the second applicant during their last court appearance, and this process is expected to continue on Thursday.
