Inge Lotz Murder: Carolus to be charged with obstruction
It has been reported that the police are going to charge Werner Carolus with obstructing and defeating the ends of justice. Apparently a docket was registered in Stellenbosch last week which paves the way for the charges.
During the trial Carolus had confessed to police that he had burgled Inge’s flat and that he witnessed his friends killing her.
Daryl Els and Christiaan Botha, the private investigators briefly hired by the Van der Vyver family had decided to investigate the matter further, with Els interviewing Carolus in prison where he got a confession and identification of the others allegedly involved.
Botha said that he had sent his findings to national Police Commissioner, Jackie Selebi’s office and also to the Independent Complaints Commission and that he hoped that they would investigate it further.
So now we have another standoff between the police and the former van der Vyver team. Who will ultimately prevail? Will we finally discover the truth?
I don’t have a lot of faith in the Selebi angle. Selebi is currently a tad too concerned with his own leal problems to bother about this case. Maybe we will see some result from the IDC.
