Murder-accused Zane Kilian arrived in court with the words Not Guilty penned on the back of a shirt.
He also proclaimed, in a large handwritten font, Framed and Saps cover up .
His case was postponed after a new lawyer joined his legal team.
The words Not Guilty were handwritten in large letters on the back of a shirt Zane Kilian wore for his court appearance in the Bellville Magistrate s Court on Thursday.
He is accused of the murder of Anti-Gang Unit detective Charl Kinnear.
The East Rand self-proclaimed private investigator s message to all who could read it in court continued with the words Framed , Saps Cover up and God knows the truth written in a large school bag font.
Kilian was arrested in connection with the assassination of Anti-Gang Unit section head Lieutenant-Colonel Charl Kinnear.
Botha told the court that since taking over the matter on Monday, he had difficulty getting access to consult with Kilian, who is being held at Goodwood Prison.
Botha came aboard after advocate Johan van Aswegen withdrew from the matter, citing a conflict of interest. Kilian is accused of being part of a plot that claimed Kinnear’s life on 18 September 2020.
Kinnear was gunned down in broad daylight in front of his house in Gearing Street, Bishop Lavis, Cape Town. The State contends that Kilian pinged Kinnear’s cellphone 2,408 times and that this was instrumental in the execution of the murder plot.
