Tete murder bail judgment postponed to Friday
The court has heard new ballistic evidence that was presented.
The bail hearing for two suspects in the murder of boxing champion Zolani Tete has been postponed to Friday at the Mdantsane Magistrate's Court in the Eastern Cape. The court has received fresh ballistic evidence that showed a positive match between firearms and ammunition found at the crime scene and those seized from two other suspects connected to the case.
The court was also informed that a third firearm, believed to have been used in the murder, is still missing. Zolani Tete's legal representative, Asanda Phakade, argued that the new evidence does not sufficiently link her client to the crime scene or provide a reason for his continued detention. She stated, "The new evidence which still does not put me at any place or environment when the murder was done.
I bare no knowledge of the firearms recovered and where they were recovered. If they appear to have been used I bare no knowledge when they could be used as I was not there."
