CAPE TOWN - Alleged underworld gang boss, Nafiz Modack's co-accused number two Zane Kilian is set to continue being cross-examined in the Western Cape High Court on Wednesday.
Kilian, along with Modack and 13 others face 122 charges related to various crimes, including the murder of top cop Charl Kinnear.
Kinnear, who was investigating Modack at the time was shot dead outside his Bishop Lavis home in September 2020.
Kilian has denied pinging slain top cop Kinnear on the day he was murdered.
The state's evidence shows Kilian pinged Kinnear more than 600 times on the day of his murder.
Kilian denied this, saying he ran out of pings before the day of the murder and there was no way he could have pinged Kinnear.
He told the court Modack instructed him to ping Kinnear because he was trying to avoid the top cop as he believed Kinnear wanted to kill him.
Modack insists he never gave Kilian any instructions to ping Kinnear, saying it was someone else who sent Kilian messages via WhatsApp.
