THE inquest into the death of sidelined crime intelligence boss Richard Mdluli's love rival heard how a witness walked past his body with three men looking on.
Elizabeth Mokheseng's statement was read into the record at the Boksburg Magistrate's Court and the inquest heard that she was on her way to pay for electricity when she saw three men pointing at something.
"When I arrived at the same place I noticed someone was lying down and was covered with plastic. The green Golf was more or less 300m away, where the three men were standing," the inquest heard.
"I proceeded to my residential place without checking who the deceased was... No one was allowed to look (see) who the deceased was."
Mokheseng said she later found out that it was her cousin's nephew, Oupa Ramogibe.
The inquest is into the death 13 years ago of Ramogibe, who married Mdluli's mistress.
The inquest will determine whether to reinstate criminal charges provisionally withdrawn in February against Mdluli, Samuel Dlomo, Colonel Nkosana Sebastian Ximba and Lieutenant Colonel Mtunzi-Omhle Mthembeni Mtunzi.
The charges against them were intimidation, kidnapping, assault with intent to do grievous bodily harm, murder, attempted murder, and conspiracy to commit murder.
Mokheseng's statement, dated February 26 1999, echoed evidence given by Mary Lokaje about the green Golf being close to the body.
She told the inquest that four police officers fled the scene shortly afterwards. Two went into a tuck shop and two drove off.
