The additional charges – defeating/obstructing the course of justice, illegal possession of a firearm and illegal possession of ammunition – were disclosed at Boulter’s bail hearing on Thursday.
The investigating officer in the case, who cannot be named in the interest of the ongoing investigation, testified that the murder weapon was owned by the company XC Arms and Ammunition for the purpose of demonstration and sale.

Nearly 11 years after he was acquitted on charges of abducting and raping two minor girls, former Supreme Court judge Pio Teek has finally failed in his bid to obtain compensation for alleged malicious prosecution and defamation.
The decisive defeat results from a judgment delivered in the Supreme Court on Friday in which judges Jeremiah Shongwe, Ernest Sakala and Moses Chinhengo dismissed an appeal Teek had filed against a previous ruling made by judge Herman Oosthuizen in March 2018.
