The defence in the Senzo Meyiwa murder trial has questioned the police officer who arrested accused 2 in the matter on why the accused was charged with the former Orlando Pirates goalkeeper only four months later.
Bongani Ntanzi was arrested on the 16th of June 2020.
According to Sergeant Vusumuzi Mogane, it was only on the 26th of October 2020 that he was charged with the murder.
The defense has also taken the witness on the 18 hours they spent with the accused the day before he confessed.
After he was booked out of the police's holding cells on the morning of the 18th of June 2020, Ntanzi was only booked back into custody in Pretoria in what the defence has labelled, 'The ungodly hours' of the next morning.
The high court in Pretoria is hearing arguments in the trial within a trial looking into the admissibility of confession statements by the accused.
