Former Ekurhuleni Police Chief Robert McBride was found guilty of drunken driving and attempting to defeat the course of justice today.

He has been acquitted on a charge of fraud.

The case goes back to 2006 when McBride was involved in a car accident.

The rulings come just hours after the Constitutional Court said The Citizen newspaper was legally allowed to call McBride a murderer, even though he had been given amnesty for his involvement in an apartheid-era bombing that killed three people.

The paper was however ordered to pay McBride 50-thousand-Rands for falsely stating that the former top cop had not shown contrition.
