Cape Town - Murder accused Najwa Petersen's repeated claim today that she could not recall details of events leading up to the murder of her husband Taliep has angered the entertainment legend's family. "The title of her book will be 'I can't remember' and you'll open the book and it will say: 'I can't remember, the end'," Taliep's sister, Maatoema Groenmeyer told News24 as she left the Cape High Court with friends and family.  Petersen, 46, took the witness stand for the first time on Monday in the dramatic trial. She stands accused of masterminding her husband's murder in December 2006. She answered questions from Johan Engelbrecht, the fourth advocate to represent her after she fired two and another pulled out after she could no longer pay him. Several spectators from the close-knit community told News24 they believed Petersen, who has frequently used her history of mental illness in her defence, was lying and guilty of killing the popular musician.  Petersen, dressed in a navy blue suit, was lead to the cell when court adjourned, frantically gesturing and mouthing to her son Achmat Gamieldien and his wife, seated at the back of the court. The legal defence for co-accused Waheed Hassen and Jefferson Snyders will question Peteresen later today. It is the State's case that Petersen approached Fahiem Hendricks to find hitmen to kill her husband and offered to pay R100 000 for the hit. Hendricks, who is a State witness, approached the third co-accused Abdoer Emjedi, who allegedly recommended Hassan and Snyders.
