Ballistic expert to be cross-examined at Meyiwa trial

PRETORIA - Ballistic expert Chris Mangena is expected to finally face cross-examination
when the Senzo Meyiwa murder trial continues on Monday morning.

His cross-examination was put aside after the defense consulted its own expert.

Now it hopes to poke holes in Mangena's evidence, linking the accused number three to the bullet and gun that killed the soccer star in 2014.

Mangena previously testified that Meyiwa was shot at close range, with the gun pressed to his chest at a downward angle.

Meanwhile, the state has indicated that its case is nearing the end, with at least two witnesses likely to be called.
