Inge Lotz Murder: State’s closing (Part 2)
Prosecutor Carine Teunissen began her second delivery of closing arguments in the trial of Fred Van der Vyver.
She began by speculating that the argument between Fred and Inge was probably a lot more serious than Fred made out on the stand. She said that this is backed up by the testimony of the ‘hell of a fight’ and the long letter, which in her opinion was not a love letter.
“It fits better with the unhappy partner in a relationship who had tried to placate the other and save what could be saved,” she said.
She went on to say that Fred had made a deliberate attempt to conceal the letter in the beginning of the investigation and had also not mentioned to anyone that Inge had been crying that morning.
Carine Teunissen argued that Fred, who initially chose not to testify and then took the stand only after his advocate had started delivering his closing argument, had contradicted himself in his testimony. He also adjusted his testimony to fit the facts and was deliberately vague on some aspects.
She ended off by saying that he was an unsatisfactory witness.
