Agliotti's legal team applies for a discharge

There was not enough evidence to secure a conviction of Brett Kebble murder accused Glenn Agliotti, the High Court in Johannesburg heard on Tuesday.

Advocate Laurance Hodes SC applied for a discharge of the four charges against his client. The State opposed the application.

Argument would be heard on November 5.

This emerged after the State closed its case on Tuesday, wrapping up with the testimony of investigating officer Colonel Pieter Van Heerden.

Agliotti is facing four charges -- two counts of conspiracy to commit murder, one count of attempted murder and one murder charge.

The murder charge and one conspiracy count relates to the September 2005 shooting of Kebble in Melrose, north of Johannesburg.

Agliotti is further accused of conspiring to kill Alan Gray auditor Stephen Mildenhall, Jean Daniel Nortier, Dr Mark Bristow and Mark Wellesley Woods.

The attempted murder charge relates to the shooting of Mildenhall in Cape Town in August 2005.
