One of two suspects arrested for the fatal shooting of four people at a barber shop in Khayelitsha on June 8 says he has an alibi and footage will prove he was not at the scene.
The identity of the accused, their legal representatives and the prosecutor may not be revealed, by order of the court.
National Prosecuting Authority spokesperson Eric Ntabazalila said: “It also ordered the faces of the accused not to be published due to the sensitive stage of the investigation.”
The two men face four counts of murder, 11 of attempted murder, two of illegal possession of firearms, two of illegal possession of ammunition and one count of robbery with aggravating circumstances.
Three children, aged five, 11 and 12, and a 30-year-old man were killed in the shooting in Qwarha Street in Site C, Khayelitsha.
The state agreed to provide video footage after the legal representative of one of the accused said it would show it was not him at the crime scene.
