Durban - Double murder accused Rameez Patel was unable to explain why the jacket he wore, on the day his wife was killed, was moved.
Patel was testifying in the Limpopo High Court, in Polokwane, where he is on trial for the murder of his 28-year-old wife Fatima, the mother of his three children.
She was shot in the face, while in their rented Nirvana apartment, in Polokwane, in April 2015. Her skull and cheekbones were shattered as a result. She was also strangled and her jaw had dislocated.
Patel, a cage fighter-cum businessman, has pleaded not guilty to the murder charge. He blamed the murder on an intruder, who he said entered their home.
