Bank robbery suspects acquitted

In his short ruling yesterday, Moroka found that evidence induced by the State did not link the duo to the crime they were charged with.

Surtee and Moseki were jointly charged with Michael and Edward Mzwinila for an attempt to rob Bank of Baroda of P1 million in the process threatening to use violence on the bank's managing director Kadayam Ramasubramoney. Surtee is the mother of the Mzwinila brothers. Moroka made the short ruling after the State called the investigating officer James Baakile to give evidence on the case.
