The key state witness in the Lusikisiki mass-killing trial has been accused of being the mastermind behind the 18 murders carried out in September 2024.
Yesterday the defence team in the Mthatha high court, sitting in Lusikisiki, argued that Lonwabo Abi, a former accused turned state witness, was the man behind the Sinqina family killings.
The defence team claims there is no evidence of instructions having come to Abi from the prison cell of accused number one, Mzukisi Ndamase, to shoot and kill people at the Sinqina homestead.
