Senzo Meyiwa: Alleged lookout man shows court wounds he alleges were inflicted during his arrest

The first accused in the Senzo Meyiwa trial has shown the Pretoria High Court wounds on his wrist that he claims were inflicted by police during his arrest.

Muzi Sibiya is back on the witness stand as the first defence witness.

The State believes he was one of the watchmen on the day Meyiwa was murdered.

Initially, Sibiya had told the court that he was assaulted by police who forced him to sign a confession, but said the wounds were not visible. 

Sibiya has pointed out several marks on his wrists, which he claims the officer who made him sign, Colonel Nhlanganyelwa Mbotho, saw.
