South Africa: Two Charged for Opening False Cases After Carnal Exploit

press release

Police have arrested a man and a women after they opened false cases separately following an incident on 13 September 2018. Detectives were bemused following attempts by the two to mislead investigators despite a social media report of the incident being posted by a local security company.

The two suspects were charged for defeating the ends of justice following two separate reports of false cases. Tongaat detectives were able to link these cases to a report on social media by a local security company who described in detail how the man and women were robbed whilst engaging in sexual activity at a sugarcane field on the same day. Both victims were arrested and charged for defeating the ends of justice. They appeared in the Verulam Magistrates Court yesterday.
