“It is three months later but the state has not given us conclusive information about this firearm. This needs to be investigated,” Wilkins said.“The state can’t say who was driving the white vehicle and whether the distinctive white BMW was used in the shooting.”
Earlier, Wilkins told the court the accused were able to demonstrate their emotional ties with their residential address in Rosettenville, where some were arrested.“Have they established ties with Rosettenville? As they had only being staying at this address for a month?” Sibanyoni asked. Wilkins said the fact that their landlord confirmed they have been staying there proves they have ties with the area.Wilkins said: “It is the residential address they use to be able to go to their different work addresses.”
Sibanyoni seemed not entirely convinced by this response. He said if that was the case, there should have been supporting information regarding their places of employment. Wilkins, however, maintained the employment of the accused was dealt with previously, when it was pointed out they work as taxi marshalls and patrollers in Soweto and Kempton Park.
