File | A judge's Gavel and handcuffs on top of brown table
The National Prosecuting Authority of South Africa says a blunder in the murder case of the 20-year-old, linked to last week’s discovery of the bodies of six alleged sex workers in Johannesburg last week, does not augur well for public confidence in the institution.had to be postponed as the NPA failed to conduct an identity parade last week.
The state has now applied to move the accused from Johannesburg Central to the police station where the identity parade is set to take place on Friday. He faces one count of murder. State advocate Tshepo Mahange Ka Mzizi argued that the accused had refused to do the parade in the absence of his defence lawyer, but Khanyiswa Mkhange defending the accused denied that, saying the parade did not proceed as the person responsible for conducting it could not make it, as he was attending church on the day.
