Very suspect Evidence in Van Rooyen trial

I am in possession of the court records of Heinrich van Rooyen, accused and found guilty of the murder of two girls in Knysna in 2005. In an affidavit used in court by Inspector Jullies - he collected evidence samples for the laboratory. How is it possible for this to have happened. On 15/11/2005 he found hair and a black elastic band at the crime scene of Victoria Stadler and then FOUR DAYS LATER, on 19/11/2005 he found a pair of panties and a pair of ladies long pants AT THE SAME crime scene? He found something so small on the 15th but missed the large items and only found them four days later?? The number of glaringly obvious mistakes in court shows that the cops and prosecutors wanted Heini to be guilty and his defense was worse than pathetic.

Heinrich van Rooyen - Botched Evidence in Trial

Taken from Alan Elsdon's book, Broken and Betrayed:
Four days after Victoria Stadler went missing, Director Trollip in Cape Town made himself available. Four days later, on Tuesday 15 November 2005, the partly decomposed body of Victoria was found in the Noetzie bushes on the outskirts of Knysna. After Trollip was contacted, he instructed forensic expert Supt Johannes to assist. This is the same FSL expert who assisted Capt Bruce in the Inge Lotz murder (where Fred, her boyfriend) was acquitted). Trollip then went to Knysna where he became the overall coordinator in Jessica and Victoria’s murder investigations. On Thursday 17 November, Heinrich van Rooyen, a local JD was arrested as a suspect in both murders. On Instruction from Trollip, Heinie’s blood was drawn “for DNA testing’. On Saturday 19 November, 20065, Heinie was released.
Also on Saturday 19 November 2005, four days after many thorough searches of the area by local and other Eastern Cape officers, including the canine unit, the police “found’ Victorias pants and underwear in the Noetzie bushes, only three meters from where her body had been found.
My conclusion: What kind of police work is this? How come they took four days to find clothing belonging to Victoria lying only 3 meters from where her body was found? Planted by the cops?? Planted by Attie Trollip? And why did the defense not follow up this very vital piece of evidence in the trial?
