Bank statements used as evidence by the State in the Senzo Meyiwa trial have revealed data opposing the version of the first accused, Muzikawukhulelwa Sibiya.
He told the court that he was not involved in the murder of Meyiwa in 2014.
But the State on Thursday presented the statements to challenge his alibi and to show the cellphone numbers provided by the accused when they opened the bank accounts.
Sibiya is part of five men accused of killing Meyiwa, who claim the State’s case has been cooked.
Sibiya’s version is that he could not have been involved in Meyiwa’s murder because he left Gauteng in 2013 after losing his job and only returned in 2015.
However, bank statements read by State prosecutor, Advocate Ronnie Sibanda, tell a different story, showing several bank deposits and withdrawals from the Naledi Mall in Vosloorus between September and December 2014.
The records show that Sibiya also made a purchase from Spitz in Johannesburg on 1 September for R1,665.
The State will continue with this evidence on Friday morning.
