JOHANNESBURG - An accused in the Senzo Meyiwa murder trial has been asked by the presiding judge to point out the secluded place where he claimed police assaulted him after his arrest.
The court conducted an inspection in loco on Friday for Muzi Sibiya to point out where exactly he was allegedly assaulted on two separate occasions - first when he was arrested in May 2020 and again a few days later.
Sibiya and his four co-accused were taken to the Vosloorus area in a heavily guarded convoy.
Clad in his red robe that he wears on a daily basis to court, Judge Ratha Mokgoatlheng stood at the parking spot of a municipal precinct known as the "gold spot" in Vosloorus.
The area is busy with cars driving in and out of the offices to the fire station.
With his hand covering his mouth, Mokgoatlheng listened as Sibiya explained what he meant when be testified that he was assaulted by police in a secluded place.
Sibiya also recalled that his arrest was during the COVID-19 pandemic and parts of the precinct were quieter as a result.
