The defence in the Senzo Meyiwa trial has questioned the State’s ballistic expert on his understanding of theory, putting his knowledge to the test.
Lieutenant-Colonel Chris Mangena was back on the witness stand for cross-examination on Tuesday.
The court was focusing on his charts, demonstrating the links he has drawn between the exhibit bullet found on the scene of the footballer’s murder and the test bullets he fired from the gun belonging to one of the accused, Mthobisi Mncube.
According to Mangena, the bullet that killed Meyiwa was fired from Mncube’s gun.
However, Mncube’s lawyer, advocate Charles Mnisi questioned Mangena’s application of ballistics principles that brought him to this finding.
“Sir, with due respect and the greatest respect that I have for the experts. I’m going to put it to you, that you had it all wrong… that is going to be demonstrated as and when the matter progresses that you had it all wrong.”
