Selekane was on the state's witness list but she was not called.The state's last witness‚ investigating officer Detective Constable Isaac Oupa Kubheka‚ finished giving evidence earlier on Wednesday.He testified that he took a statement from Sebolai on the day of his arrest and the DJ admitted to killing Tshabalala but said it was an accident.The defence will call Sebolai as its first witness.The trial continues. - TMG Courts and Law..
