Joshlin kidnapping trial | Kelly Smith shifts blame onto Lourentia Lombard

JOHANNESBURG - Kelly Smith is pinning the disappearance of her daughter Joshlin squarely on Lourentia Lombaard.

She accuses the state's key witness of lying to try and to save her own skin.

Lombaard was initially arrested as a suspect, together with Smith, and two others.

But she's since turned state witness, under section 204.

Lourentia Lombaard has been under cross-examination for six days.  

She's been grilled for inconsistencies and contradictions in her statements to police and  evidence in court.
