Modack Denies Involvement In Murder Plot Of Senior Detective “The Police Killed Him”

In a dramatic turn of events, alleged underworld kingpin Nafiz Modack made a bold statement in the Western Cape High Court, denying any involvement in the murder plot of senior Anti-Gang Unit detective Charl Kinnear.

Modack, who was arrested nearly three years ago and identified as the mastermind behind the murder, claimed that it was the police who killed Colonel Kinnear.

Modack, along with former rugby player Zane Killian and several others, is currently facing a multitude of charges in the ongoing underworld trial centred around Kinnear’s murder.

The group of 15 accused, who are members of the Nafiz Modack Enterprise, face over 100 charges including murder, attempted murder, public violence, racketeering, and money laundering.

The murder of Colonel Kinnear took place on September 18, 2020, when he was shot and killed while sitting in his car outside his Bishop Lavis home. The public raised questions after pictures of the shooting, seemingly taken from CCTV footage, were shared on social media.

The shooter in the pictures did not match the description of Killian, who was the first to be arrested. The masked man in the images appeared to be skinny and was wearing a red hoodie.

During the court proceedings, Modack confidently addressed Judge Robert Henney, despite an earlier ruling that he could not offer a plea explanation without legal representation. Modack stated, “I never killed Colonel Kinnear. The police killed him, and I have evidence.”

Killian also pleaded not guilty to the murder charge and questioned the absence of the shooter, emphasising that in other murder cases, the shooter is clearly identified and arrested.

Judge Henney denied Modack’s request to provide a plea explanation, explaining that he had the right to remain silent after pleading to the charge.

The judge cautioned Modack against speaking without a lawyer present and reminded him that he could present his defence later in the trial. It is unclear at this stage if Legal Aid has appointed representation for Modack, Killian, and two others.

The trial continues, and the allegations against Modack and his associates will be thoroughly examined in the court of law. is served.
