Investigation into fatal shooting inside Wynberg court at advanced stage

The State says its investigation into the fatal shooting inside the Wynberg Magistrate's Court is at an advanced stage.
 
The five suspects linked to the April murder of Dingalomoya Chintso are currently behind bars and are expected back in court in November.
 
Shireen Mathews, Abubaker Adams, Brian Booysen, Wanay Farao, and Vuyisani Zengethwa are all accused of having a hand in the brazen courthouse attack.
 
Prosecutors believe Matthews is the mastermind who orchestrated the hit.
 
The prosecution team said investigators were still downloading cellphone data that will help strengthen its case against the alleged members of the Junky Funky Kids gang.
 
The State believes that on the day of Chintso’s murder, alleged mastermind, Shireen Matthews, called her co-accused, Brian Booysen, for him to organise guns.
 
It's also the State's case that during phone conversations between the pair, Matthews instructed Booysen to get Adams and Zengethwa to carry out the hit.
 
The prosecution is also confident that Matthews requested an e-hailing service car that is apparently seen on video footage dropping and picking up Booysen and the hitmen in front of the Wynberg Magistrate's Court on 8 April.
 
The case has been postponed to 20 November to allow the State to wrap up its investigation.
