Story via The Citizen<\/a><\/p>\n

The State is beginning its prosecution of Radovan Krejcir<\/a> for murder and conspiracy to commit murder two suspects short as one was banned from South Africa after leaving the country legally and the other has yet to be arrested.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

One suspect has yet to be named while the other is Denis Krejcir, Radovan\u2019s son.<\/p>\n

It was Denis who was on holiday overseas with his partner Marlene Nezar and his mother Katerina Krejcirova in December last year when the Department of Home Affairs declared him a prohibited person apparently because his permanent residence permit was fraudulent.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

Denis launched a High Court action which failed\u00a0and now the police have to somehow convince him to return to South Africa to face murder and conspiracy to commit murder charges.<\/p>\n

Prosecutor Lawrence Gcaba reportedly said the State was investigating other options because it did not want to go the \u201cextradition route\u201d. This is understandable because according to the Department of Justice website, South Africa has no extradition treaty with the Czech Republic, homeland of the Krejcir family.<\/p>\n

So for the time being, at least it\u2019s Krejcir\u2019s bagman Mike Grigorov, Krejcir himself, Nkanyiso Mafunda, Siboniso Mia and Mfaniseni Siphiwe Memela who face charges of killing Sam Issa in Bedfordview late 2013.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow that there is a warrant for his arrest, he would be welcome back. I hope that he will fulfil his wish to come back to South Africa and face the music with his father,\u201d said O\u2019Sullivan.<\/p>\n

O\u2019Sullivan said Mafinda had been planning together with Krejcir and his co-accused to murder four witnesses in the Sam Issa murder as well Colonel Ximba and O\u2019Sullivan himself.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is now the sixth attempt Krejcir has made to have me murdered. So as you can imagine I\u2019m not a very happy chappy but I\u2019m happy the State is on top of it,\u201d O\u2019Sullivan said.<\/p>\n

The matter was postponed to September.<\/p>\n

The case echoes that of last year when Solomon Miya (accused 1), Zoduma Biyela (accused 3), Owen Serero (accused 4), ex-crime intelligence Sergeant Nandi Nkosi (accused 5), Krejcir (accused 6), Nkanyiso Mafunda (accused 7), Siphiwe Memela (accused 8 \u2013 believed to be Krejcir\u2019s trigger-man) and Borislov \u201cMad Mike\u201d Grigorov (accused 9 \u2013 apparently Krejcir\u2019s bagman), were arrested on charges of conspiracy to commit the murder of crime intelligence\u2019s Colonel Nkosana \u201cKiller\u201d Ximba and forensic consultant Paul O\u2019Sullivan, as well as unlawful possession of arms and ammunition.<\/p>\n

\u201cKrejcir should realise that the wheels of justice are still turning in this country and he is going to eventually pay for his crimes,\u201d said O\u2019Sullivan.<\/p>\n

\u201cGrigorov was added as an accomplice to Issa\u2019s murder is because he was the one who arranged the motor vehicle used to do the murder and he set it up with blue lights to make it look like a police vehicle,\u201d O\u2019Sullivan noted.<\/p>\n
