Claremont taxi assault suspect identified
On Monday we told you about the horrific incident involving Sanet de Lange (18) who was found by police with a head injury after getting in to taxi in Claremont.
EWN has reported that a private investigator claims to have identified a suspect for the assault.
On Thursday night Sanet was attacked while on her way home from Tiger Tiger nightclub in Claremont. She is insure of what exactly occurred but police found her lying on the ground not far from where was picked up. She had sustained an injury to her head.
Sanet’s mother, also named Sanet, hired a private investigator to find out what happened to her daughter.
“We went with a private investigator because we are scared it will take a long time for the footage to be recovered and the case might get cold. I know unfortunately things can get lost in our system.”
The private investigator, Jack Brice, says that CCTV footage from surveillance cameras will form part of the investigation. It is also reported that Tiger Tiger’s manager, Shaun, has been very helpful and wants the suspect arrested as quickly as possible.
Brice says, “We are also in the process of dealing with municipal cameras… I have all the cameras from the scene on Saturday, we’ve also taken photos so we hope in the next five hours to have something concrete on the vehicle that was involved in this.”
Brice says he does not want to divulge too much at this stage because a suspect has not yet been arrested.
