Senzo Meyiwa trial: Police probe conspiracy as three men removed from public gallery

By Marcus Moloko

The Senzo Meyiwa murder trial has taken a different turn as police have now confirmed a case of conspiracy to commit murder.

The case of conspiracy to commit murder has been registered and is under investigation, according to Police spokesperson Athlenda Mathe.

This comes after three men seated in the public gallery were removed from the High Court in Pretoria during the Senzo Meyiwa murder trial on Tuesday.

The trial adjourned to allow counsel to review the new developments.

The revelation comes amid heightened tensions in the High Court, where five men stand accused of the 2014 killing of the Bafana Bafana captain.

“All steps taken are to ensure we eliminate the threat as well as to protect and save lives,” Mathe said.

Police have received solid intel that there was a group of individuals who attended proceedings with the sole purpose of eliminating key role players
