Our lunch time news is full of it.
Those of you following the ‘Cape Town Honeymoon Murder’ case may recall that Barrister Ben Watson representing our lot told the court that Tongo (the taxi driver) had been told that this wasn’t the first time that the millionaire from Bristol had arranged a hijacking and killing.
In 2007 Dr. Pox Raghavjee was hijacked, murdered in his car and left outside a sports stadium near King Williams Town.
What baffled police at the time was that his wallet and other personal possessions (including his mobile phone) were left at the scene.
What’s the connection? The wife is a personal friend of the Dewani family and it was Dr. Pox Raghavjee’s widow (Heather Raghavjee) who drove to Cape Town the morning after the brutal killing of Anni to comfort the husband.
Heather Raghavjee is unfortunately out of the country at the moment so police are unable to move forward!
Reports here (The local King Williams town paper) and here (The Times, S.A. edition)
A fourth man is now thought to be in custody, he was the gobetween between the convicted taxi driver and the two who carried out the attack.
