Handing down judgment, Judge President Cagney Musi pointed to a notable lack of evidence and testimonies ‘replete with improbabilities, contradictions’ against Sekola Matlaletsa and Skwetje Mahlamba.

As I said in another thread. The biggest failure of this investigation was the lack of forensic processing, at a time it was unbeknown to the public that the system was compromised. Odd, though, that this was made a public spectacle, even attended by Cele who would have known about the 'issues' in the backend. The case was postponed time and time again because the court had to wait on results, though no one at the police or the NPA made a peep about the issue, sure they knew.
No evidence processing, no results, would mean that no new suspects would have been pursued. See the problem here? I do blame the police, the NPA and the Cele here, they knew there was no lead time, but no one will acknowledge it. Being aware about the issue and not reporting it, especially when the case is publicly volatile... circus.
However, the Hawks are pursuing a syndicate... whether there will be results or any further progress in Horner's murder, only time will tell.
