Durban - A leading forensic scientist and a retired senior police officer have questioned the training of the police officer responsible for the discharge of a shotgun in court that led to the death of an advocate.
South African-born David Klatzow, a private forensic consultant now based in the UK but who still works in this country, said he was “lost for words” at the incompetence that caused the death of senior state prosecutor advocate Addelaid Ferreira-Watt. The shotgun was discharged in the Umzimkhulu Regional Court, near Ixopo. Ferreira-Watt was hit and died in hospital.
Klatzow said the discharge was a criminal act and that the officer responsible for it should be “punished immediately”. “It’s the police who are supposed to know about firearms, who check on people like me.” He stressed that owners of firearms or those who used them were legally required to have completed and passed a competency test.
Lost it was a HIT!!! I HOPE U SUE THE POLICE AND GOVERMENT FOR BILLIONS!!!
