Najwa Petersen, wife of murdered musician Taliep Petersen, let his killers into their Athlone home and watched as her husband was shot and killed by them, the State told the Wynberg magistrate’s court on Tuesday. State prosecutor Shareen Riley put it to Emjedi, who took the witness stand to testify in support of his bail application, that “she (Najwa) provided (the killers) access” to the house and that Taliep Petersen was killed “in her presence”. Riley told the court that the State would allege that Emjedi was approached by a former employee of Dirk Fruit Namibia, a business at one stage co-owned by Najwa and her brother, to “get people” to kill Petersen. That also came to nothing, and instead Emjedi arranged for the remaining two accused, Hassen and Snyders, to go to the Petersen house in Athlone on December 16, where Najwa let them in, and they killed Taliep in her presence. read more
