Cellphone analyst expected back on stand on Monday at Meyiwa trial

The High Court in Pretoria has adjourned the Senzo Meyiwa murder trial until Monday morning to allow the defence to view contents of a disc that the state witness Colonel Lambertus Steyn has supplied.

The retired cellphone data analyst has been recalled to the stand to clarify evidence pertaining to alleged communication between one of the accused Fisokuhle Ntuli and Meyiwa’s girlfriend at the time, singer Kelly Khumalo.

Ntuli and four co-accused are on trial for the murder of the Bafana Bafana captain in October 2014.

Advocate Thulani Nxumalo, who represents accused number 4 in court, was expected to continue with the cross examination of Colonel Steyn. However, he has requested for more time to view a disc supplied by Colonel Steyn this morning.

This disc has more information from the Vodacom cellphone records and phone downloads that Steyn worked on.

Steyn has supplied the additional evidence after Advocate Nxumalo yesterday took him through cellphone data exhibits that Steyn said he could not recognise as they were not the documents he supplied.

Colonel Steyn is expected back on the stand on Monday.
