The NPA has officially recognised that mining magnate Brett Kebble orchestrated his own murder, says a report on the IoL site.
It has provided a list of 50 named witnesses that it hopes will prove that Jackie Selebi's avowed friend Glenn Agliotti and Kebble's former business partner John Stratton were heavily involved in the tycoon's bizarre assisted suicide plot. The NPA, represented by deputy director Andrea Johnson, has scheduled Agliotti's conspiracy to murder and murder trial to start on 27 July 2009 in the Johannesburg High Court, where it is set down to run for four days. The trial's witness list includes murdered socialite Hazel Crane's son Anthony, Kebble's father Roger, BEE entrepreneur Sello Rasethaba and self-confessed drug dealer Clint Nassif. While Nassif has admitted hiring the shooters who shot and killed Kebble in a faked 'assassination' in September 2005, the names of the hit men have not been included on the witness list. Also on the witness list are 19 police and forensic witnesses, the two paramedics who attended the Kebble murder scene, three cell phone experts, a sushi restaurant staff member and residents from the Melrose area where Kebble was killed.
