South African Songstress Kelly Khumalo Linked to Accused in Senzo Meyiwa Murder Trial: Explosive Cellphone Data Revealed
In a shocking revelation at the Senzo Meyiwa murder trial, renowned South African songstress Kelly Khumalo has been directly linked to one of the accused hitmen, Fisokuhle Nkani Ntuli.
Explosive cellphone data evidence presented by a specialist police officer reveals that Kelly Khumalo had been in contact with Ntuli just weeks before her former boyfriend, Bafana Bafana goalkeeper Senzo Meyiwa, was tragically gunned down.
The dramatic new evidence has sent shockwaves through the courtroom, unraveling further complexities in the high-profile case.
The Tangled Web Unraveled
Colonel Lambertus Steyn, an expert in analyzing cellphone data from the SAPS Cold Case Unit, took the stand and dropped a bombshell revelation. He testified that Ntuli had made two phone calls to Kelly Khumalo on August 2, 2014, and again on October 15, 2014, just days before Meyiwa’s untimely death. These calls lasted for significant durations, raising questions about their nature and purpose.
Uncovering the Missing Puzzle Pieces
Steyn further disclosed that Kelly Khumalo’s phone had been rebooted just hours after Senzo Meyiwa’s tragic demise.
This suspicious act has raised eyebrows, as it could indicate an attempt to delete or manipulate crucial information related to the case. However, Steyn clarified that the phone’s possession at the time of reboot remains uncertain and may have been seized by the police.
Kelly Khumalo’s Troubling Messages
As if the revelations couldn’t get more compelling, SMS messages exchanged between Kelly Khumalo and her sister Zandile Khumalo were admitted as evidence.
These messages reveal that Kelly Khumalo was seeking to end her relationship with Senzo Meyiwa and was deeply troubled by his mother’s media talk, adding an emotional layer to the already complex case.
Links Between Kelly Khumalo and Accused Ntuli
According to IOL, Steyn’s meticulous analysis linked Kelly Khumalo to Ntuli through multiple cellphone numbers and connections, verified through various databases and systems. The calls made between them on the specific dates raised suspicions due to their timing and locations.
The Missing Phone and Accused Phones
Steyn informed the court that cellphone data from all individuals present at the scene of Senzo Meyiwa’s murder was examined, except for one phone, reportedly stolen during the invasion. The accused’s phones were also not analyzed due to the substantial time elapsed since the incident.
