Bloody Lies Inge Lotz Murder Case Thomas Mollett true crime South Africa detective Stellenbosch The book is in a like NEW condition It includes photos and investigation photos Has 236 pages Barcode 9780143538479 ******ABOUT THE BOOK******* In 2007 Fred van der Vyver was acquitted of the 2005 murder of his girlfriend Inge Lotz. Thomas and Calvin Mollett examine the evidence and arguments presented in the Inge Lotz murder trial and argue that all the key elements of the prosecuting evidence withstand scrutiny. This book daringly challenges one of the most controversial murder cases in recent South African history. In 2007 Fred van der Vyver was acquitted of the 2005 murder of his girlfriend Inge Lotz. He then sued the police to the highest court for malicious prosecution - and failed. In spite of the defence's trashing of the prosecution's case at the trial, brothers Thomas and Calvin Mollett provide a compelling argument of how every key element of the prosecuting evidence withstands the closest scrutiny. They use models, measurements, forensic tests, mathematical formulae and the views of experts both here and overseas. The authors show how an ornamental hammer found in Van der Vyver's vehicle, but thrown out as evidence, could match Inge's head wounds. Contrary to the claim accepted in court, they convincingly argue that a disputed fingerprint was not lifted off a drinking glass found in Inge's flat - a detail that could make all the difference. They demonstrate how blood marks on a towel could have come off the hammer, how blood stains on the floor could have been shaped by a specific shoe and how a closer look at cell phone records reveals a different choreography of movements than what was accepted by the court. The crime..... On 16 March 2005, the bloodied body of a twenty-two-year-old woman was discovered in her Stellenbosch apartment. She had been brutally bludgeoned and stabbed to death. Her name was Inge Lotz. Lotz was an only child, doted on by her parents she was exceptionally talented, both musically and mathematically. She excelled academically in her actuarial science classes at the University of Stellenbosch, and it was there that she first met her boyfriend, Fred van der Vyver. Van der Vyver cut a handsome figure, he was tall, intelligent, and quietly confident, and the pair made a striking couple. They had been dating for less than a year, but their future seemed clear Lotz had already prepared her parents for their imminent engagement. The seemingly fairytale-like courtship came to a devastating end on a hot and humid Wednesday, which marked the cruel end of Lotz's life. It would also mark the start of a fight that would last for more than a decade, as police focused on Van der Vyver as their only suspect.
