No bail for man who tried to extort money from Miguel Louw and Sandra Munsamy’s families

Durban - The man who allegedly attempted to extort money from two Durban families who were in their most vulnerable state with missing loved ones was denied bail this week.

The extortion charge related to a R10000 demand made to Raylene Louw in August 2018. Her son Miguel had been reported missing at the time.While Miguel’s body was found dumped in Phoenix, a month later, police did not suspect that Moodley had had a hand in the child’s death. Govender was informed by his commander that Moodley contacted two high-ranking KwaZulu-Natal policemen and they asked for a meeting to be arranged at the unit’s Isipingo-base, but it never happened.

Advocate Jay Naidoo, who represented Moodley, questioned why Govender mentioned the incident in Joburg and brought up the Munsamy allegations when he did not have confirmed evidence to back his claims.About the call to Louw, Naidoo said: “Who the exact caller was, we don’t know. All we know is that the phone belonged to Moodley.”

He said that Moodley had a fixed address with his sister in Shakaskraal, and questioned why police hadn’t yet verified the address.Kuveshni Pillay, the State prosecutor, said Moodley had known since February 2017 about the fraud charge, and there was a “prima facie case” against him for attempted extortion.
