An MTN cellphone expert is scheduled to testify in the trial of slain honeymooner Anni Dewani in the Western Cape High Court on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
On Monday, the court heard that Xolile Mngeni’s simcard was put in a phone belonging to one of Dewani’s convicted killers.<\/p>\n
Vodacom forensic expert Petro Heyneke said phone records showed that Mngeni’s simcard was first put in Zola Tonga’s phone on the morning of November 14, 2010.<\/p>\n
Dewani was shot dead on November 13.<\/p>\n
Tonga was jailed for 18 years under a plea bargain, in which he claimed Dewani’s husband Shrien arranged for his wife’s murder in a fake hijacking.<\/p>\n
The court also heard that the last activity on Tongo’s phone was an incoming call at 10.53pm on the night Dewani was killed.<\/p>\n
The day after Dewani was killed, at 5.13pm, a new simcard was issued where the user did a sim swap. That simcard was then put in a new cellphone.<\/p>\n
A hotel receptionist, whose identity was being protected, acted as a middleman in the alleged killing.<\/p>\n
Several calls were made between the receptionists’ phone and that of convicted murderer Mziwamadoda Qwabe.<\/p>\n
Prosecutor Shareen Riley said the relevance of the cellphone data would be put in context by a crime mapper to trace links between suspects, their locations and events.<\/p>\n
