During this week's Cape Town inquest into Jimmy's death‚ his family's advocate‚ Gerrie Nel‚ pointed out discrepancies in statements taken by private investigator John Nomdoe which could amount to fraud.
This week Nel administered"deep cuts" to Ford’s defence – by the car maker's own admission – when he cross-examined two witnesses who arrived at the scene shortly after Jimmy’s Kuga burst into flames in Wilderness.
They said Nemeth asked them to include certain details‚ such as claims that they saw a vehicle making a u-turn near the scene of the fire and that a police officer at the scene made a passing comment that the victim had a hole in his head. Nel told Ford’s lawyers this amounted to Nemeth interfering with witnesses‚ and said the executive needed to be brought back to SA to testify.
The inquest will resume on May 13‚ when AfriForum lawyers representing the Jimmy family say they may lay a complaint of fraud against Nomdoe if the police have not already done so.
