Advocate defending suspects in Senzo Meyiwa case arrested in court.

The lawyer representing four of the five men accused of murdering Bafana Bafana player Senzo Meyiwa was served with a warrant for his arrest in court on Thursday.

Advocate Maselela Teffo had earlier been cross-examining Sgt Thabo Mosia, who had collected evidence at the Vosloorus home where Meyiwa was killed in October 2014.

But in a surprise turn of events after the lunch adjournment, he was served with an arrest warrant and led down to the holding cells.

The arrest appeared to be related to a failure to appear in court.

The arrest was performed in full view of the accused and the court gallery.
