Boksburg court rules audio-only coverage, bars images of accused
Only two accused, Fortunate Masilela and Tsakane Nester Msithini, are before the court.
The Boksburg Magistrates' Court has recently issued a ruling that will only allow audio recordings of its proceedings, prohibiting any images of the accused or presiding officers from being taken. The court is currently hearing cases against two individuals, Fortunate Masilela and Tsakane Nester Msithini, who face charges of premeditated murder and obstructing the course of justice relating to the murder of Jabulile Ntimba. The alleged motive for the killing is a love triangle.
It is important to note that a third accused individual is not present in court at this time, as the prosecution claims there is not enough evidence against them. The three suspects are believed to be connected to the murder of Jabulile Ntimba, who was the ninth victim found in Villa Liza near Dawn Park, Boksburg, on September 17th.
Police have suggested that the murder may be linked to the ongoing love triangle, but they have emphasized that the case is being investigated separately from other related matters. Additionally, they have revealed that there is still one unidentified body discovered in Olifantsfontein on September 7th.
