The High Court in Polokwane, Limpopo, has heard that the two firearms recovered from one of the accused in the murder of two businesswomen are not linked with the shooting incident.
State witness Lucas Visser, who examined the bullets and firearms, is testifying in the murder trial of Stanley Leshabane, who is accused of hiring hitmen to kill his wife Mokoena Mabusela-Leshabane and her business partner, Tebogo Mphuthi, in October 2020.
Visser is a retired police officer who was attached to the Police Ballistic Forensic Section. He has testified that the two firearms did not match the bullets fired in the fatal shooting of the women.
“The cartridges caucus mentioned in 6.1 and 6.2 were not firing in the firearms that fired in the case mentioned in 4.1 and 4.3 a crime scene from Polokwane; none of those exhibits were fired by firearms from Katlehong; the firearms from Katlehong case are negative with the bullets.”
