Lotz investigator lays charges against police
The Inge Lotz murder case has just gotten a whole lot stranger with Lotz private investigator laying charges of defeating the ends of justice and of perjury against key investigators who probed the murder.
Private investigator Niel van Heerden was appointed by Lotz’s family to investigate her murder soon after she was found dead in her Stellenbosch flat on March 16, 2005. He was later removed from the investigation at the insistence of the police investigators.
He accused them of withholding pertinent information from the court. He further accused a third person of perjury as he alleges that that person blatantly lied in court.
The three identities have not been released for legal reasons.
Director Novela Potelwa, spokesperson for provincial police commissioner Mzwandile Petros has confirmed the charges saying: “We are compelled to investigate all charges and will do so.”
Van Heerden said that the actions of the three could have led to life imprisonment of an innocent person.
In his statement he said that evidence he had collected had never been taken into account.
