REPLY:
It is not the practice of the SAPS to reveal the names of, or information
regarding suspects in criminal investigations, especially where such
persons have not appeared in a court of law in respect of any charges
leveled against them. Particulars of criminal investigations that have not
been heard in court, cannot be disclosed.
