Description

After 20 years, the killer of Lee Bennett, identified by his then 10yo daughter Samantha as Martin Ngema on 21 November 1995, was found hiding under a fake identity: http://www.netwerk24.com/nuus/2014-11-09-moordenaar-staan-uit-die-dood-uit-op 
Johannesburg High Court, Nov 2014: After 20 years a man suspected of killing Lee Bennett with a headshot in the driveway of Sandon Road Parkmore, has been found hiding under a fake identity. Martin Ngema (then 23) appeared in Johannesburg High court this week after he had been picked up as Alfred Sibusiso Ngema on a charge of reckless driving. When his fingerprints were taken, police realized they had the accused killer of Lee Bennett in custody. Just after the cold-blooded killing, Bennett's ten-year-old daughter Samantha didn't hesitate when she pointed out the man who killed her dead to detective Piet Byleveld. Ngema was discovered after he managed to have himself 'disappear' by creating a fake identity and falsifying a death certificate.
Ngema's fingerprints also were found in the red VW Golf with which he and two co-accused Johannes Matli and Nhlandhla Madia had fled after shooting the white Parkmore man.
Shortly before the trial in 1997 Ngema - suspected with the help of a police officer and a falsified signature - managed to escape from jail on 'bail' granted by a magistrate.
Then Ngema faked his own death-certificate and with a slight change in his identity number, obtained a new identity from the HOme Affairs department.
"The Late Martin Nkosenye Ngema' became "Alfred Sibusiso Ngema". In November 2013, his past caught up with him when he ws arrested for reckless driving.
And Ngema was only caught because his fake 'death' had never been registered in the SA Police records. 
His 'new life' was revealed: he had spent years learning salesmanship at a car-dealership in Vryheid - and even became salesman of the year several times.
He now is a director of the black-economic-empowerment company Indlela Yomnotho Trading and Projects and contracts his services to the eThekwini-municipality.
He also purchased several properties in town. His manager vehemently denied that the man arrested by the police could possibly have been a killer. 'Not Alfred. He's a great, open-hearted guy, ' said his manager. In his view it was simply 'unthinkable' that Ngema was one of the three blacks who attacked Lee Bennett and his ten-year-old-daughter 20 years ago...

After nearly 20 years, a murder suspect, who astoundingly manoeuvred himself into a brand new life has finally been brought to book. Samantha Bennett was barely ten years old when, in 1995, a male detective Piet Byleveld had to be appointed after her father, Lee (46), lay next to her in cold blood in an alleged murder. The little girl showed no hesitation when identifying Martin Ngema (then 23) as the one who had shot her father, Lee Bennett in the head on November 21,1995 at their home Shandonweg, Parkmore in Johannesburg. Ngema's fingerprints were also found in the red Volkswagen Golf that he and his two alleged accomplices, John Matli and Nhlanhla Madia fled the scene with. Unlike his alleged accomplices Ngema refused bail. Shortly before the trial in 1997, Ngema, presumably with the help of a policeman and the forged signature of a magistrate escaped from prison "on bail". Ngema then forged his own death certificate and forged a new ID with a small adjustment in his identification number from the Department of Home Affairs. The "late" Martin Nkosenye Ngema became Alfred Sibusiso Ngema. Ngema was well known in Vryheid and had built fairly good relationships with many locals as a salesman at a local car dealership. He had won the "Salesman of the year" award a few times as he was said to be one of the best at doing his job. He was among the eThekwini Municipalities client list as the director of the company Indlela Yomnotho Trading. He had also purchased several properties in town. His past caught up with him in November last year when the traffic police arrested him and he was charged with reckless and negligent driving. When his fingerprints were taken, the police realised he was the alleged killer of Lee Bennett. Ngema who recently visited the Johannesburg High Court, was arrested because his "death" was never recorded on the police system. Ngema's manager is said to have adamantly defended him after police arrested him. "I told them it could not be. Not Alfred. He is a great, candid guy, "the manager told the Rapport. It seemed inconceivable to the manager that Ngema had been one of the three who attacked Samantha and Lee back in 1995.

BY THE POLICE.

IT WAS ONLY THEN THAT IT WAS ESTABLISHED THAT HE HAD ASSUMED A

NEW NAME AND WAS WANTED FOR THIS MURDER IN 1995 ON LEE BENNETT.
