“I was inside the vehicle with them on that day. After we had disposed of the body and his belongings, our MD drove us back to the hotel and that was the last time I saw the vehicle. After the police arrested us, we took them to the bush but we were unable to see the corpse and his belongings that we kept beside him’, he stated
