Nafiz Modack Rejects Claims Linking Him To Murder Of Anti-Gang Unit Detective Charl Kinnear

Alleged underworld figure Nafiz Modack has once again distanced himself from the murder of Lieutenant Charl Kinnear, telling the Western Cape High Court he played no role in the killing.

His denial came during a tense cross-examination session on Wednesday as state prosecutors pressed him on evidence presented against him.

Kinnear, a senior Anti-Gang Unit detective who had been investigating Modack, was gunned down outside his Bishop Lavis home in September 2020. The state argues that the murder was the culmination of months of illegal tracking and plotting.

Modack maintained his stance under questioning, remaining firm even as prosecutors confronted him with digital records and statements implicating him.

Evidence of Thousands of Pings and Payments Scrutinised in Court

The court heard that co-accused Zane Kilian allegedly pinged Kinnear’s phone more than 2,000 times in the months before the detective was killed. Kilian is also said to have received more than R200,000 during that period.

Kilian previously testified that Modack paid and instructed him to conduct the pings. Prosecutor Greg Wolmarans presented screenshots from Kilian’s phone showing messages that tracked Kinnear’s location.

“So either this is part of a conspiracy, or I’m going to argue the evidence reveals that Kilian is reporting to you,” Wolmarans told Modack.

Modack replied: “That’s false, my lord. There’s no such evidence, my lord.”

Nafiz Modack’s Cross-Examination Set to Continue

Modack is expected to return to the witness box on Wednesday when his cross-examination resumes, with the state expected to probe further into the alleged coordination behind the tracking of Kinnear.
