Just one point of contention with the Casefile researchers: the Casefile storyline makes it sound like the disagreement between the claims of the police and the 21 year old student about what position Anni's body was found in left the possibility open that Anni was raped. This possibility was ruled out by the forensic pathologist Janette Verster in court stating, "There was no evidence of injury (to the genital area) internally and externally. There was nothing microscopically I could find," adding that Anni's underwear was still intact and had not been disrupted.
Thanks Michael. That’s good to know. That would have been an added terrible part to the story if she was also raped.
I listened to this episode and realized I've never heard of Capetown. Just watched a documentary on Prime Video on Capetown... Whoa... Talk about an eye opened.
Just want to commend the teams research efforts & always providing some social context, or background or scene setting of the regions where these crimes occur. Never slapdash with you guys, appreciated.
I have never been to Africa, but I knew an English couple (white) who lived there for a whike. He coached cricket and football teams, as well as working as an electrical engineer. They told me South Africa is very beautiful, and they did notbwant to leave. However the violence in the Aparthied era was getting bad, so they moved to here, Australia. He told us of hiding in vans to go to African (black) football (soccer) matches, or to private mixed-race cricket ( White & Coloureds) matches organised by wealthy Indian (Coloured) residents, because of the colour bar. I think I have remembered the terms correctly. I have always wanted to visit parts of Africa
Spoiler Alert! My condolences to Vinod and the Hindocha family. The Cape Town Police and Prosecution stuffed this up. The evidence was flimsy with contradictory witnesses and any half decent jury or judge would have come to the same conclusion.
This was new to me and I live close to Mariestad. Fun when that happens. Very interesting. Great work team.
Excellent. Thank you. I had heard about this case. But I had never heard the conclusion. Interesting similarities with another of your cases, Tina Watson.
This case... had me all 😡
