Calling for an update in the seemingly cold case of missing Sodwana Bay skipper John ‘Matambu’ Dercksen, Advocate Gerrie Nel yesterday issued a scathing letter addressed to the National Prosecuting Authority’s Director of Public Prosecutions .Outlining the ‘undisputed facts’ of the matter, Nel questioned why the SAPS is seemingly more interested in the status of the docket than using all evidence at their disposal to carry out a thorough investigation.
In what Nel termed an ‘indictment against the parole system’, he said the situation presented is that within 10 days of being granted parole, the accused allegedly stole, defrauded and committed murder. Consultations revealed that the fraud matter was enrolled prematurely when there was still an outstanding investigation.Referring to the information Eilertsen has gathered in her attempt to seek justice for her brother, Nel said the ‘impressive docket’ records ‘extensive circumstantial evidence’ which she provided to the NPA and SAPS.
Nel said the detective took the statement, but disallowed inclusion of all the evidence or witnesses collected by her, ‘telling her she is not an investigating officer’.
