\u2019n Bedroefde Pretoriase ma wat haar tienerseun byna \u2019n jaar gelede in \u2019n noodlottige botsing verloor het, beweer dat \u2019n gebrek aan kommunikasie en antwoorde van die polisie afsluiting byna onmoontlik maak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Christa van Wyk se 18-jarige seun, Justin, is Vrydag 5 Maart verlede jaar in \u2019n botsing in Somerset-Wes dood. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n DistriksPos<\/i> het voorheen berig dat die botsing kort n\u00e1 23:00 in Victoria Link-weg (die pad wat De Beerslaan en Victoria-straat koppel) en ten aanskoue van \u2019n plaaslike inwoner en lid van die Victoria Park-buurtwag, George Kruger, gebeur het (\u201cLaatnag-botsing eis Gautenger,\u201d 11 Maart 2021). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kruger het die omgewing ten tyde van die voorval saam met mede-buurtwaglede gepatrolleer. Die span het patrolliewerk in Victoriapark en omliggende gebiede, waaronder Lourensiapark, Paardevlei, die gedeelte naby die Helderberg-sentrum by Somerset Mall, en Helderzicht gedoen. Met die terugkomslag het hy twee jong mans in \u2019n Honda Ballade gesien wat van Lourensiapark af in Victoria Link-weg links gedraai het. Die botsing het oomblikke daarna gevolg. Die Honda en \u2019n Volkswagen Polo, wat in die rigting van Somerset Mall beweeg en \u2019n Chevrolet Spark verbygesteek het, het reg van voor teen mekaar gebots. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Twee insittendes van die Chevrolet het glo sweepslagbeserings opgedoen. Die bestuurder en voorste passasier van die Polo was ongedeerd, maar Justin, wat agter die bestuurder in di\u00e9 voertuig gesit het, is dood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die Honda se twee insittendes, wat plaaslike inwoners is, is n\u00e1 die voorval met beserings na die hospitaal vervoer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sersant Suzan Jantjies, woordvoerder vir die Somerset-Wes-polisie, het die voorval destyds by navraag bevestig en ges\u00ea ooggetuieverslae het bevestig dat die Polo \u2019n voertuig wou verbysteek en in die aankomende baan gery het toe die voertuig teen die Honda gebots het. \u2019n Saak van strafbare manslag is deur die polisie vir ondersoek geopen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNet die wete dat dit amper \u2019n jaar later is met geen vordering in die saak nie, mors met my. En, om in Pretoria te wees, maak dit soveel moeiliker, want ek kan nie net polisiekantoor toe gaan nie. Miskien sal ons \u2019n bietjie afsluiting kry as ons weet die saak is afgehandel,\u201d het Van Wyk ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk het hulle al \u2019n paar keer gekontak en boodskappe gelaat. Ek het twee keer met die ondersoekbeampte gepraat. Ek het ook vir hom \u2019n paar WhatsApp-boodskappe gestuur, maar hy antwoord nooit. Ek wil graag \u2019n antwoord h\u00ea oor wat aan die gebeur is.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die moeder het vandeesweek aan die koerant ges\u00ea Justin het destyds by \u2019n vriend wat saam met hom by Ho\u00ebrskool Centurion se Woerie-kampus skoolgegaan het, gekuier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNadat hulle hul finale matriekeksamen voltooi het, het [hy] by sy broer in Somerset-Wes gewoon totdat die grense oopgemaak word sodat hy by sy pa in Nieu-Seeland kon gaan woon. [Hy] het dus vir Justin gevra om sy uitslae vir hom by Ho\u00ebrskool Centurion op die 28ste Februarie te kry en sommer vir \u2019n week te kom kuier aangesien hulle nooit regtig \u2019n matriekvakansie gehad het nie. Ek het ingestem en hy het Dinsdagoggend 2 Maart gevlieg. Hy het \u2019n Uber van die lughawe na Somerset-Wes geneem. Ek het met hom gepraat in die paar dae wat hy daar was en die Vrydag het hy gevra of ek geld in sy rekening kan inbetaal aangesien hulle die aand wou uitgaan,\u201d onthou sy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie ongeluk het die Vrydagaand gebeur en sy vriend het nie my nommer gehad om my in te lig nie. Sy pa, wat in Nieu-Seeland bly, het my die volgende oggend via Facebook gekontak. Ek het nie geweet waaroor dit gaan nie, want hy het net vir my ges\u00ea hy moet dringend met my praat. Ek het my nommer vir hom gestuur en hy het my gebel. Dit was omstreeks 07:00 die Saterdagoggend toe hy my telefonies bereik en vertel dat daar \u2019n ongeluk was en dat Justin dood is.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Van Wyk was sy baie ontsteld en geskok. \u201cEk wou nie glo wat hy vir my s\u00ea nie,\u201d het sy ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Van Wyk het ges\u00ea sy wil geregtigheid h\u00ea en die bestuurder moet boet vir wat hy gedoen het. Volgens die ouer beweer \u2019n getuie dat die bestuurder en sy vriend n\u00e1 die voorval betrap is dat hulle die ongelukstoneel wou verlaat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk wil graag \u2019n antwoord h\u00ea oor wat aan die gebeur is en hoekom sommige getuies nog nie vir hul verklarings gevra is nie. Dit klink vir my na \u2019n toesmeerdery want hierdie ou het vriende in die polisie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jantjies het ges\u00ea die ondersoek duur voort. \u201cVersoek is gerig dat die ondersoekbeampte die klaagster sal kontak en haar op hoogte sal bring.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
