The investigator in the Senzo Meyiwa murder trial, Sgt Batho Mogola, will continue giving testimony at the Pretoria high court on Tuesday.

One of the defence lawyers in the footballer's murder trial on Monday argued evidence was “cooked up” and the shooter is not among the five men on trial.

Advocate Thulani Mngomezulu, representing Muzikawukhulelwa Sibiya, said the investigation into the case is “far from the truth”.

He suggested an alternative scenario — that Meyiwa was killed when a shot was fired from a gun owned by Longwe Twala during an argument with Twala's then-girlfriend Zandile Khumalo. Twala was in the Vosloorus house where the footballer died in October 2014, with the Khumalo sisters, their mother and two of Meyiwa's friends.
