The funeral of Marius Vlam van der Merwe, also known as Witness D at the Madlanga commission of inquiry, will be held on Wednesday at Medley House in Brakpan, after his fatal shooting outside his home two weeks ago.
Van der Merwe was shot dead in what police have described as a cold-blooded killing in his driveway. His death came just weeks after he gave explosive testimony at the Madlanga commission in November.
During his evidence, Van der Merwe alleged that Ekurhuleni metro police department EMPD deputy chief Julius Mkhwanazi had instructed him to dispose of the body of Emmanuel Mbense, who died during an interrogation allegedly involving tubing at the hands of police officers.
