But appearing for mention last Thursday, Nkhuha shocked the court when he blurted out that his confession was a lie.

It was his third court appearance, having first appeared to giving out a confession statement and the second time with one of his co-accused Ernest Legwale, 43, who alleged hired Nkhuha together with the one still on the run to kill his then wife, Dimpho Meswele.
