On Tuesday, he’s in the Cape Town Magistrates Court on a charge of conspiracy to murder in connection with an attack on Booth at his Higgovale home in April.
Kilian allegedly tracked detective Kinnear’s cellphone up until the day of his murder.
It’s understood the new charge relates to allegations that Kilian also tracked criminal defence attorney Booth’s cellphone before the attempt on his life.
Kilian’s lawyer Eric Breyer maintains his client was not involved in any of the crimes he’s implicated in.
“I don’t know the number of the pings, we haven’t been given a copy of the pings but there are over thousands over a year period. So, your name, my name could appear on the ping list so I would resume there could be more charges.”
NPA spokesperson Eric Ntabazalila said the State had also brought a fraud charge against Kilian.
“(It’s) relating to that certificate which is submitted of him being a private investigator.”
