The case against one of two people arrested in connection with the murder of traffic officer Walton van Rooyen was withdrawn in the Cape Town Magistrate’s Court on Thursday, the National Prosecuting Authority said.
But NPA spokesperson Eric Ntabazalila confirmed the case against Craig de Lilly would go ahead. It was postponed to March 30 for a bail application. Van Rooyen was shot dead on Tuesday after an apparent routine stop of a taxi driver in Kensington, Cape Town. Police spokesperson Captain Andrè Traut said it was suspected that the officer was killed afterwards en route to the police station.
