Phoenix triple murder: Suspect seen on CCTV
One of the officers investigating the triple murder of Phoenix mother, Jane Govindasamy and her daughters Denisha and Nikita has taken the stand in the Durban High Court.
Warrant officer Rajan Sanders has been explaining how they used CCTV footage to link the suspect with the crime.
Sanders, who is part of a technical support unit, says they started at a boutique about 100 metres from the victims' home.
He told the court that footage from the premises shows Pillay walking past and wiping something silver in colour, believed to be a knife, on himself before dumping it on the roadside.
The bodies of the three victims were found in their home in September last year.
