Die laaste klompie jare van sy lewe is gekenmerk deur ’n ongekende entoesiasme en vasberadenheid om groter lig te werp op hoëprofielmoordsake in die land. Twee sulke gevalle is die moorde op Inge Lotz en Reeva Steenkamp. Thomas word oorleef deur sy dogter, Alta (14), sy ma Margaret, sy broers Aidan en Calvin en sy suster Catherine Rossouw. Mollett’s skill at drilling down into detail led to his handling of all pathology aspects in the Jason Rode trial while assisting the state. Rhode was convicted of killing his wife, Susan, in 2016.

This book answers questions related to the Oscar Pistorius murder case, taking an analytical view of the crime and the crime scene.Mollett began his afternoon talk to the forensic experts by passing the replica hammer around for the audience to grip and feel and weigh. The court ultimately found that the equivalent tool found in Van der Vyver’s car later was not the murder weapon, but Thomas is not convinced, and there are many who agree with him. Disgraced Paralympian Pistorius is due to be sentenced later this year for Ms Steenkamp’s murder on Valentines Day 2013. Tongo, however, was sentenced to 18 years for his role in the kidnapping and murder but was due to be released in July 2020 after serving half of his sentence. However, the parole was revoked at the last minute after fierce objection by the Hindochas, including Anni’s parents, Vinod and Nilam Hindocha, and Tongo therefore remains in the Malmesbury prison. Other pictures show disturbed blood stains, which the two authors claim were caused by Pistorious’s residual limbs as he made his way across the floor.

Thomas Mollett’s Forensic Report on Shan’ann Watts’ Post

There is an interesting aspect to what Inge Lotz, who fitted the saintly blonde virgin trope, evoked in the men who surrounded her in life (and in death). Dit was die eerste keer dat ’n debat oor God op hierdie skaal in die openbaar in Afrikaans gevoer is. Dit is vandag nog steeds een van die grootste gesprekke daaroor in Afrikaans. Anni Dewani’s family marks the fourth anniversary of her death on November 13, 2014 in Cape Town, South Africa. Anni Dewani’s family held a commemoration ceremony in the street in Khayelitsha where Anni’s body was found. Her husband Shrien Dewani was charged with orchestrating her murder while the newly-married couple were on honeymoon in South Africa in 2010.

These ‘experts’ claimed that the police intentionally fabricated the fingerprint lift to frame Fred. When mentioned at trial, Carice Stander – a close friend of Pistorius – claimed they were used to stem the flow of blood, despite minimal blood being shown in images of the seen. Dit bevredig ons op ’n dieper vlak om aan sulke sake te werk. Die feit dat dit moordsake is, is nie noodwendig ’n bepalende dryfveer nie. Ons voel wel gemotiveer deur die bydrae wat dit moontlik tot die samelewing en geregtigheid kan lewer,” het hy aan my vertel.

Tydens sy jare in die uitgewersbedryf by Griffel Media was dit reeds deel van sy werk om sin te maak van inligting en ’n fyn oog te hê vir konteks. “In baie gevalle is die ontleding van moordsake nie veel anders nie,” het hy verduidelik. “Dit gaan oor sin maak van inligting, verslae van getuienis, ens.” In hulle soeke na geregtigheid het dié twee broers onder andere ’n boek die lig laat sien waarin hulle gehoop het om antwoorde te gee op van die tergende vrae en bespiegelings toe Oscar Pistorius sy meisie Reeva Steenkamp op Valentynsnag 14 Februarie 2013 in sy huis doodgeskiet het. Die boek se titel is Oscar vs The Truth. What really happened on that Valentine’s evening of 13 February 2013 when Reeva Steenkamp was shot and killed in the toilet of Oscar Pistorius’ house? Did Oscar know that Reeva was behind the toilet door? Or did Oscar truly believe that an intruder was hiding behind that door? circumstantial evidence is also a vital tool to gauge alcohol content, including eye witnesses, Shan’ann’s drinking habits, and her appearance in the Ring camera footage when she arrived home [described but not released thus far]The Mollett brothers begin their book with the line “you are now the soloist in the angels’ choir” quoting Boschoff’s eulogy at Lotz’s funeral and there is something about the continuing notion of her as “an angel” or “pure” that snags consideration and is asking for exploration on a deeper psychological level. The rest of Mollett’s talk to the forensic experts yesterday revolved around the minutiae of measurements of Lotz’s mortal wounds, the angle of camera used by the forensic photographer and the convincing possibility that the hammer was indeed the murder weapon. The brothers argue that the court was remiss in dismissing evidence about Shrien’s interactions with other parties outside his relationship with Anni, which could have figured in a probable motive. Even experts around the world in various fields disagree with each other on the evidence and we are kind of brought up to believe that evidence and CSI is absolute but it isn’t. In this case these experts are arguing against each other based on the same evidence. And that’s crazy,” said Brown. Thomas se persoonlike lewe het net soos die onstuimige God-debat op LitNet dikwels wipplank gery. Slegs sy naby vriende en naasbestaandes was bewus van die moeilike stryd wat hy jare lank teen depressie gevoer het.

Shrien could have chosen to dine in Hout Bay, which would not have taken them on the N2 and past Gugulethu.” Ten spyte van sy groot belangstelling in forensiese ondersoek het hy homself nie beskou as “forensiese deskundige” nie. Hy wou ook nie hê ander moet hom so sien nie. In large part, due to this incriminating fingerprint evidence, the police arrested Fred van Der Vyver for Inge’s murder. The police also found an ornamental hammer in Fred’s vehicle which could have inflicted the wounds on her head. Justice Denied

Investigating the murder of Inge Lotz

In this book, brothers Thomas and Calvin Mollett set out to find the answers by taking a painstaking look at the crime scene and evidence with eagle eyes. When Tongo, after his speedy arrest, confessed that the British businessman had been the mastermind behind the plot to kidnap and murder his bride, Dewani, who had been allowed by police to leave South Africa, spent years fighting his extradition to face charges in the Cape Town High Court.
