Judge Robert Henney reprimanded alleged underworld boss, Nafiz Modack, after the declared to the court that: “I never killed Col Kinnear, the police killed him. I even have evidence to prove it.”
The judge was hitting back at Modack after he refused to plead not guilty to the murder of top cop Charl Kinnear. Modack is on trial along with 13 other people, including former rugby player Zane Kilian.
The group are facing 124 charges, including multiple murders, attempted murders, fraud, corruption and money laundering.

Modack and Kilian also pleaded not guilty on Wednesday to charges relating to 3,000 illegal interceptions of mobile data, including those of City of Cape Town safety and security MMC JP Smith, businessman Mark Lifman, lawyer William Booth and Kinnear. Killian denied involvement in the attempted hit on Booth.
Judge Henney lashed out at Modack’s denial saying, “Don’t challenge me again. We made an agreement and are of the understanding that you are not going to reveal your defence.”
His rugby player co-accused was less verbal and told the court “he was exercising his right to remain silent by wearing a jersey bearing the slogan ‘not guilty’”.
Kinnear was killed outside of his home in September 2020 while investigating Modack and larger police corruption. The Sunday Times reported that, at the time, he was investigating a ‘guns to gangs’ syndicate at the police Central Firearms Registry.
It would be interesting to see the so-called evidence Modack plans to reveal as part of his defence. It’s been almost four years since the policeman’s murder, so let’s hope the trial doesn’t go the way of the Senzo Meyiwa farce.
