Cape Town – Murdered
Stellenbosch student Inge Lotz, 22, was killed by someone close to her and was
betrayed by her friends.
This
startling revelation has been made by investigative journalist Michael Day,
reported Rapport.
Day has been
working with ex-top cop Piet Byleveld, who was appointed by Lotz’s father to
help solve the murder that made headlines since the student’s body was found in
her flat seven years ago.
Day said all
the answers to the mystery were locked within Lotz’s circle of friends, some of
whom had climbed the ladder of success since her murder.
Day said
these so-called friends refused to talk or reveal what they knew of the brutal
murder because they believed they were above the law.
They pretended to be her friends but really hated her, said
Day.
Hatred was also the motive for her murder, he said.
Lawyer Johan Jordaan who represented Inge Lotz’s parents
said Day was the one person who had worked closely with Byleveld to solve the
murder.
“Michael Day and Piet Byleveld are a team. Piet is the
master detective, Michael the background man who sits with astonishing
information after years of research. Yes, they share information,” said
Jordaan.
Day will release his book on the murder next year. Its
working title was Betrayed – The Inge Lotz Story: Her Life, Her Death, and
the Hunt for Her Killer.
