‘S’CHAZA’ MURDER SUSPECT SLAPPED WITH 8 MORE CHARGES

MBABANE – It never rains but pours for murder suspect Lucky ‘Obama’ Matsenjwa as the Crown has added eight more charges against him.

This means that Matsenjwa is now facing a total of 12 charges.
Initially, Matsenjwa was facing four charges which are; murder, defeating the ends of justice, theft and contempt of court. The new charges are defeating or obstructing the course of justice and seven of attempting to defeat or obstruct the ends of justice.
 The new charges are contained in the indictment which was filed by the acting Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Sandile Dlamini, in the High Court yesterday.

Matsenjwa stands charged with the murder of police officer Mduduzi ‘S’chaza’ Matsebula, who was a key witness in the fingerprints case where the former is an accused person. He allegedly killed Matsebula on May 12, 2017 near Buka in the Hhohho region.

It is alleged that he did this with intent to obstruct the course of justice, as he knew that Matsebula was a key witness in the fingerprints case.

In the added charges, it is alleged that during the month of April 2017, Matsenjwa attempted to defeat or obstruct the course of justice.
“In that on or about the month of April 2017, at or near Garage Bar, Mbabane, the accused unlawfully and with intent to defeat or obstruct the course of justice, requested one Ngcebo Verimaak to convince Mduduzi ‘S’chaza’ Matsebula not to give evidence against the accused (Matsenjwa) in the trial of the Prevention of Corruption charges (fingerprints case),” reads part of the new charges.
