The defence in the murder trial of businessman Rameez Patel on Wednesday roped in a top Durban-based senior advocate to assist with the medical aspects of the case.
Mahomed Saleem Khan SC told the presiding judge, Joseph Raulinga, he was instructed on behalf of the accused to assist in certain aspects of the case.
Patel is standing trial in the Polokwane High Court in Limpopo for the murder of his wife, Fatima, at their marital home in the city's suburbs of Nirvana on 10 April 2015. Video footage of the movements around Patel's residential complex – played in court on Tuesday – showed he left his home three times before finally returning with his brother, Razeen, in a two-car convoy, an hour later.
Earlier, retired police major-general Harold Engelbrecht suggested Patel's wife might have been killed by an intruder.
