, Meyiwa was shot and wounded at the home of his girlfriend and singer Kelly Khumalo on 26 October 2014 in Vosloorus in an alleged botched robbery. Previous witnesses have testified that two intruders entered the Khumalo house and demanded cellphones and money. One of the accused wore a hat which he allegedly left behind when they left the crime scene.On Tuesday, Masetla testified that swabs were taken at the crime scene and were matched against all the five accused.
The analyst said for a conclusive determination to link a person to a DNA, the person must be read in all the regions of the DNA emphasising that reading a person in one region does not mean they are a contributor to that sample. Some of the five accused were read out in some regions of the sample however based on the fact that they could not be read out in all 16 regions Masetla concluded that the five accused are excluded from the DNA swabs and hate taken at the Senzo Meyiwa murder scene. However, the court heard that the DNA evidence provided two profiles, meaning it might have been worn by two men or a man and woman.
