Justice system’s loopholes 'work in favour' of repeat offenders | Cape Argus

Cape Town - Hout Bay Community Crime Prevention officials involved in apprehending one of Ivan Ivanov’s accused killers are frustrated with the number of repeat offenders walking the suburb’s streets. JJ de Villiers helps run the CCP task force. After four years of attending to emergencies and apprehending criminals in Hout Bay, he has become familiar with residents constantly caught up in investigations and offences.

De Villiers helped catch the man accused of murdering Ivanov, a Ukranian, on a hike in Hout Bay on Saturday. The suspect had been released from jail for a previous offence four days before his arrest for murder. When a suspect is released they give the courts a certain amount of money which will be released back to them if they make all appearances.
