Four men are on trial for kidnapping Munsamy, a financial manager of Crossmoor Transport and XMoor Transport.

She was kidnapped by Lucas John Ndlovu, Dumisani Radebe, Jose Omega Tembe, and Arthur da Silva Mondlane on May 30, 2019.

The expert, Mthokosizi Nkomo, told the court that the Cellebrite software he used to capture forensic data from cellphones was capable of identifying the owner of the device.

Nkomo explained this during cross-examination by defence counsel advocate Joe Wolmarans, who had told him that Cellebrite cannot identify the true owner of a cellphone.

Wolmarans is counsel for Radebe.
