Cape Town – The family of Jill-Paula Fernandez has been forced to lay a complaint with the Independent Police Investigative Directorate over the actions of a detective that led to the case against her alleged killer being dropped.
This led to the case being removed from the Bishop Lavis Magistrate's Court roll yesterday to the dismay of the Fernandez family, without the magistrate even reprimanding the investigating officer for obstructing justice. "Now there are question marks about the magistrate in my mind because he didn't even keep the case on the court roll, nothing of the sort. How in heaven's name can that happen.
"When he arrived at Tygerberg Hospital, the pathologist said to him that the report has been completed but they are not able to release it to him. The investigating officer should come and fetch it himself and that is how the process works. "Now clearly you can see the strategy of the investigating officer. That's not poor workmanship. That is a case of not being interested in working.
