UPDATE: Roger Kebble dodges testimony - again

The murder trial of Glenn Agliotti ground to a halt yet again today, after state witness Roger Kebble failed to show up in court. According to prosecutors, he has a doctor's note, which says that he has a heart condition and therefore can't testify. Agliotti's defence was not amused. "We are being messed around, my Lord.

Judge Frans Kgomo adjourned for tea, and is expected to rule on the matter at 14:00. Agliotti is on trial for masterminding the death of Kebble's son Brett.  UPDATE: The judge has ruled that as Kebble is only a peripheral witness, there can be no further postponements on his account.
