NOT GUILTY South Africa - Anni Dewani, 28, shot to death, Gugulethu, 13 Nov 2010 #5

[zwiebel]

Judge now onto discussion between Tongo and Mulombo.

Think I've spelt that name wrong.

 

[zwiebel]

T: In his evidence Tongo said he did not know how much they were going to be paid, it was nothing to do with him. But in his affidavit, he said mr M was going to be paid 5k...Mr Tongo's evidence in this respect is telling.

 

[newone]

judge is nitpicking over payment between the 3

 

[zwiebel]

Judge now reading part of defence cross. 'This evidence is indicative of how Mr Tongo could change his evidence at the slightest pressure'.

 

[newone]

Judge does not even address the amount of $$ SD was to have left in the cab

 

[zwiebel]

Judge now saying how Qwabe, Mulombo evidence contradicted almost all of Tongo's.

#DewaniTrial Traverso : Tongo could just change evidence and Dewani only met with him, not Qwabe or Mngeni. @KayaNews.

Qwabe and Mbolombo "contradict Mr Tongo on just about every aspect of their interaction", Traverso says #DewaniTrial

 

[zwiebel]

T: The evidence of (all co-accused) does not agree with each other

 

[zwiebel]

T (in regard to Qwabe evidence re tel call) This evidence clearly irreconcilable.

"The evidence from Mr Mhlongo, Mr Tongo and Mr Qwabe contradicted each other on many key points" #DewaniTrial

 

[zwiebel]

T: There is no record whatsoever of a call that Saturday morning (between Dewani and Tongo, when Dewani was at the pool)

 

[zwiebel]

T: Mr Tongo confirmed...discussion about hit took place in car after they returned from money xchange...cctv clearly shows car hardly stopped before accused got out. It's clearly a figment of his imagination. When confronted, he changed (his story again)

 

[newone]

looks like SD is going to be released......((adjournment))....time to ''spike'' my tea.....

 

[zwiebel]

Judge now talking about money in the cubby hole of the car, and Tongo evidence that his car would be 'abandoned on spot', and his two other versions of where it should be left (car wash and near a house): 'To expose his livelihood to this kind of risk cannot be believed'.

 

[zwiebel]

Judge now talks of Tongo denying he even knew co-conspirators' names, then contradicted that.

Adjourned for tea.

 

[JudgeJudi]

Tea time

to be honest that always bugged me --- his car was his meal ticket....((there was never any mention of insurance that could be paid in the event of his vehicle being trashed))

 

[newone]

sister has returned from Sweden to attend this important appearance

RT @AlexCrawfordSky: #DewaniTrial Not sure how long this ruling is, but Judge appears to still have a pile of papers to read through
