A suspect in the Gushungo bombing saga who is accused of attempting to bomb the First Family's Alpha Omega Dairy Farm has been released.
Borman Ngwenya was acquitted of charges and ruled as a spy working for the military and that his arrest was not justified.
Ngwenya was facing two counts of possessing weaponry for sabotage and money laundering.
However, the magistrate blasted the State for “unfair and unnecessary” splitting of the charges.
The magistrate added that the State failed to nail Ngwenya before praising the defence.
She also highlighted that Ngwenya produced evidence to prove his innocence in the form of phone records between him and Major Mashava which showed that the two were in constant touch.
In his defence, Ngwenya told the court that on the day they were arrested, they were tipped by Major Mashava on how they were going to be ambushed and arrested. He said Major Mashava told them to comply with the police.
