A banking issue led to the postponement of a murder trial in the Gqeberha high court after one of the accused refused to take the stand until the matter is resolved.
Missing transcripts of proceedings in the trial of murder and cash-in-transit heist accused Ayanda Fani and Pule Masemola led to the matter being placed on hold on Monday.
Murder accused and alleged cash-in-transit robber Ayanda Fani admitted under oath that he lied during his formal bail application when he said the cellphone recovered from an accident scene, which belonged to him, had been stolen.
