Cat Matlala trial: Alleged hitman disputes hospital records after court ruling
The defence had objected to the state using Musa Kekana's hospital records.
Musa Kekana, accused of being an alleged hitman in a trial involving Vusimuzi “Cat” Matlala, has disputed aspects of the hospital records used to test his credibility in the Gauteng High Court in Johannesburg. Kekana, who was arrested in April 2024, claimed he never told doctors he was admitted for food poisoning, insisting he had only consumed Hennessy and subsequently lost consciousness.
The state sought to admit cellphone records and statements allegedly made by Kekana during his arrest, including claims of assault by police officers. The court ruled that Kekana's hospital records could be used as evidence, but he maintained he had never mentioned being assaulted at the police station or experiencing night sweats.
