Fred van der Vyver vs Heinrich van Rooyen


Investigating Officer Director Attie Trollip (unfortunately dead otherwise …) and Adv Christenus van der Vijver prosecuted Fred van der Vyver in the Inge Lotz murder and lost because Fred’s defense team could show that the forensic evidence had been tampered with to ensure that Fred was found guilty.   Fred was found innocent.   They had to save face, so a week later, when they prosecuted Heinrich van Rooyen’s case, the same two, Director Trollip and Christenus van der Vijver fabricated and tampered with evidence because they HAD to find him guilty.  Unfortunately, the Judge (Nathan Erasmus) also allowed evidence which was glaringly incorrect to be ignored and Price, his defense, did the worst job possible – completely ignoring glaringly obvious forensic contamination and fabrication and accepting the state’s evidence without asking a single question when it was most important.   Any first-year law student could have done a better job.   The real difference between the two cases was money!

Information regarding Lotz Murder Deserves Attention

Die Burger newspaper – Saturday, 03 November 2018.
(Western Cape)

Letter:  “Information regarding Lotz-murder also deserves attention.”

“It is good that new information received after the appearance of the sensational book The lost boys of Bird Island, is receiving further attention from the police.
            It surprises me however that another book, Broken & Betrayed, by former-detective Alan D Elsdon, enjoys no publicity. There was only one article in an Eastern Cape newspaper (the Daily Dispatch).
            Elsdon has since 2015 conducted continuous research into the murder of Inge Lotz and has discovered shocking new information and evidence.
            In my opinion, Elsdon has done outstanding detective work and the new information should also be brought to the attention of the police.
            Perhaps, at last, there will be justice for Inge Lotz.”

Schulza Rall – Sonstraal, Durbanville.
(Translated from Afrikaans)   “Inligting oor Lotz-moord verdien ook aandag”


Note:   Although this letter does not mention the Knysna Murders, persons who read Broken & Betrayed become aware of Heinie’s plight and the need for his cases also to be re-opened and investigated by the police.

Latest on the Inge Lotz Murder


Latest 


Inge Lotz – Latest (2018)
____________________________________________________________________________

On Saturday morning 27 October 2018, Thomas Mollett held a Talk at the Library in Paarl. The subject was the murders of Inge Lotz, Reeva Steenkamp, Anni Dewani and the recent “Axe Murders” (Henri van Breda). Unlike some of his previous talks the once 200 audience was reduced to a mere 32 persons, 7 being members of the local police.

At his last meeting months ago in Milnerton, Thomas spoke of an “injury” that Inge had on her left hip. He added that it was in the form of an arrow. At the time of her death, at the autopsy and even over the past 13 years, no-one made any mention of the arrow “injury”. It is in fact a cut so thin and precise, probably a scalpel was used to cut the perfect arrow which points downwards towards her genitals. How did Thomas suddenly become aware of this so-called “injury” – as he plays down the gory message left on her mutilated body by one of the killers?

This was one of the reasons I attended the Paarl Talk, to ask that question and a second. The other question was to ask Thomas to explain how Inge’s “To Do” list she wrote on the day of her murder, had changed from the original when it appeared on his 2014 Truth4Inge site and changed again in his 2015 book “Bloody Lies Too.” This is nothing less than defeating the ends of justice – on a document that should have been handed to the police.

Thomas started the talk with Inge’s murder and an hour later, was still drivelling on about Fred’s fingerprints on Folien#1, which the police claimed came off a DVD cover Inge had rented the afternoon of her death. In court the fingerprint evidence was trashed by the defence and shown to have probably been deliberate fabrication of evidence. Late Director Attie Trollip was the police overall co-ordinator in the murder investigation.

From the audience, Schalk Burger senior (SA rugby legend), asked Thomas to stop misleading the audience and to concentrate on real issues in the murder, like the role played by Director Trollip behind the scenes. Thomas lost his composure and resorted to his well-known cocky attitude which had Schalk tell him just to get past the nonsense and talk some sense.

Thomas was clearly flustered and turned his attention to me in the opposite back corner. He pointed at me and said “Mr Elsdon” he shouted, “Why did you not Email your intention to be present and request a seat? Because ... you are not welcome here!” This drew a few piercing glares from some present, probably mostly those from “rent a crowd.”

Schalk stood up, as big a man I’ve ever seen and warned Thomas not to become personal in a public library forum. He challenged Thomas to try and book a seat at his own meeting using the Information site of Piquette Books. Schalk said trying to book a ticket was a hopeless exercise and waste of time.

Thomas ignored the challenge and looking at me and waving his hand to the door shouted, “Out ... out ... you are not welcome!” I asked him why he waited until then when he could have asked me to leave before he started his talk. Keeping the attention on me, Thomas told the audience, “He (Elsdon) has written a book that nobody wants to buy ... because it is not based on proven science.”

By then Schalk had had enough and told Thomas he thought he was coming to learn something scientific about the murders. Instead all he had heard was a load of nonsense from someone who cannot control his emotions. With that, Schalk stood up and left the room.

Thomas pointed at me again and yelled. “Out ... out ... now!” Just then the lady managing the presentation pushed a button. On the overhead, the magazine with a few drops of blood that lay across Inge’s feet when her body was found, appeared.

“Wait ... wait ... Mr Elsdon,” Thomas called, “How many drops of blood are there on these two pages.” After I thanked Thomas for allowing me to stay a few more seconds, I told him that whether it was three or four drops made no difference. What was important, is that they were drops ... not spatter, as one would have expected to find a metre away from the nearest wound (unless the “crime scene” was staged!).

Thomas shouted his last “Out” and I stood up at the same time pulling a copy of my book “Broken & Betrayed” from a plastic packet. I stood up and held it in the air for the audience to see and said, “Read this if you want to know the truth, Broken and Betrayed – Inge Lotz.”

Showing signs of an imminent heart attack, Thomas shouted, “Don’t you use my platform to advertise your book!” With that, Thomas came charging towards me like a mad bull. I sheathed the book just as he stopped within sweat-smelling distance from me. All I said to him very calmly was, “Don’t touch me ... DON’T touch me.” With that I walked to the door where I stopped, turned around and said, “Good Luck”, before I walked out the room.

At the exit, I saw Schalk who, when he saw me, just shook his head. We shared introductions and went to a nearby coffee shop. There we had an interesting chat for more than an hour. At the same time Thomas was completing what he is paid to tell the world ... the lie that Fred van der Vyver alone murdered Inge Lotz. This of course is calculated to HIDE the truth, that Inge was murdered by persons very close to her ... because she was going to expose their dark secrets, also, the horrors of her young life.

At a guess this will probably be Thomas’ last public Talk ... the Paarl Talk was reduced to free entrance, as were the drinks, snacks and his books – unless he pays the audience to attend his next Talk. The DPP probably will refuse my pending request to reopen the Lotz murder – despite massive new factual evidence to show a police cover-up, including four new suspects who lack in alibis, cellphone activity and other areas, the day Inge was murdered.

UNFRAMING HEINRICH VAN ROOYEN

There is a little seaside village called Knysna.  The only real income to keep the village going during out of season is the huge amount being spent by visitors and tourists to the village during the holidays; and in particular, during the Christmas holidays which usually covers six weeks.
The clubs and bars hum with business and the chink-chink of the cash registers. Booze is selling very well.  Everyone is happy.   At one of the night venues is a beautiful looking DJ who is always smiling.  He becomes the target of every young girl’s dreams.  To be seen hanging on his arm, or standing behind the turn-tables with this good-looking young fellow creates a competition between the young women.  He in turn reciprocates – they want to make love, he makes love.  What young man would turn away from beautifully shaped, stunning looking young women?

Suddenly, the holiday feeling and the peace of the village is shattered when a young girl is murdered and a month later, another is murdered.

The police are under tremendous pressure to put the murderer behind bars.  They are being pressured by all the businesses.  “People will stop coming for the holidays” the business owners scream.    A third person is murdered, but that person hardly features in the gossip and the speculation going around the town.  The murder of the girls is on everyone’s lips.

Meanwhile, earlier in the year, March 2005, Inge Lotz is brutally murdered in her Stellenbosch apartment.  The police are also under pressure to find and convict her murderer. They settle on her boyfriend, Fred van der Vyver who was arrested.  However, the Western Cape High Court acquitted him.  He was innocent.   The murderer is still at large ten years later.

Why am I discussing the murder of Inge Lotz when the subject of this article is Knysna and a good-looking DJ.   Wait … the reason will become evident.  Let us set aside the Stellenbosch murder for the moment.

In October 2005, Jessica Wheeler was found murdered in the church yard in Knysna.  The police were unable to identify a clear suspect and no arrests were made.  In November 2005 (just before the Christmas influx of tourists and holiday makers), Victoria Stadler was found murdered at the Noetzie forest at Knysna.   Both girls socialized at the same nightclubs, one being “Stones”, where the popular young DJ worked his magic with his music.

The third person murdered and seldom spoken about was Peter McHelm.  He was found on the same day and in the same vicinity as Victoria Stadler.  Aubrey Kamoeti and Byron Moses were arrested, charged and found guilty of the murder of Peter McHelm.   This is a glaringly obvious anomaly – why were these two people found guilty of the murder of Peter McHelm but not of Victoria Stadler?  It does not take a rocket scientist to realize that there is a huge problem here that was not addressed by the police. It is not logical for two people to kill Peter McHelm, but for someone else to come along and kill Victoria at the same time and in the same place.  One has to be a complete idiot to believe that.

Director A Trollip of the SAPS, Christhenus van der Vijver, the public prosecutor, and Superintendent S Otto from the SAPS forensics  were all involved in both the Lotz murder (where the accused was acquitted) and the Knysna murders.   Why did Director A Trollip and his team have to come from the Western Cape to Knysna, weeks after the murder and suddenly they had a suspect?  Why was the forensics negative until Director Trollip arrived, when suddenly they became positive?  The DJ was framed!  That good-looking, fun-loving Heinrich van Rooyen was found guilty of the murder of both girls, and sentenced to 30 years imprisonment without option of parole.  Leave to appeal was denied.

He has now been in prison for ten years.   His parents have sent 1.2 million rand on his defence.  Once the money ran out … who cared if one young man was put away for life?

We care and we will do whatever it takes to right this miscarriage of justice.  The murderer of Jessica Wheeler is still at large.  It is common knowledge that the murder of Victoria Stadler was committed by the same people who murdered Peter McHelm.



There has been no justice for Jessica Wheeler and no justice for Heinrich van Rooyen.   Let us all work hard to right a wrong.  Let us fight injustice with every ounce of our strength and with every breath we take.   “For what you do to the least of my brothers, you do unto me”.
