ASHTON. \u2013 \u2019n Familie van Ashton vind dit moeilik om te glo \u2019n geliefde van hulle het sy eie lewe in polisieaanhouding geneem. <\/p>\n
Adam Ewertson (57), oorspronklik van Ashton, is Saterdag 30 Desember 2023 in die vroe\u00eb oggendure dood in \u2019n aanhoudingsel by die Barrydale-polisiekantoor aangetref. <\/p>\n
Ewertson het die afgelope paar jaar in die Barrydale-omgewing gewoon. <\/p>\n
Hy is glo vroe\u00ebr deur lede van die Barrydale-polisie n\u00e1 \u2019n klagte van oproerige gedrag in hegtenis geneem. <\/p>\n
Polisiebeamptes het omstreeks 02:00 op di\u00e9 noodlottige \u2019n besoek aan die selle gebring en Ewertson na bewering opgehang in die sel gevind. <\/p>\n
\u2019n Familielid, Gwendolee Petoors (37), s\u00ea hulle was geskok en ontsteld toe hulle van hul oom se ontydige en vreemde dood in kennis gestel is. <\/p>\n
Petoors, wat in Ashton woon, vertel: \u201cOns is van hier af (Barrydale toe). Ons het eerste na die huis waar hy gewoon het, gegaan sodat ons by daai mense kon hoor wat aangaan.\u201d <\/p>\n
Daarna is Petoors, haar ma, Jacoba, nog \u2019n tannie en Petoors se man na die Barrydale-polisiekantoor. <\/p>\n
Sy s\u00ea toe hulle by die gemeenskapsdienssentrum (GDS) instap, was die ondersoekbeampte in haar oom se saak, ene sersant Pretorius, toevallig ook daar. <\/p>\n
Petoors s\u00ea sy het toe aan die speurder ges\u00ea hulle kom vra oor Adam se dood; oor wat gebeur het. <\/p>\n
\u201cVoordat ons enigiets gevra het, het hy (Pretorius) ges\u00ea geen misdaad word vermoed nie. Nou wil ek weet, hoekom s\u00ea hy dan so? En ons het nog nie eens gevra nie,\u201d vertel \u2019n ontstelde Petoors. <\/p>\n
Hulle is toe saam met Pretorius na sy kantoor. Daar het sy meer vrae oor die omstandighede rakende haar oom se skielike afsterwe gevra. <\/p>\n
Sy wou onder meer weet waarmee haar oom homself opgehang het en of hy alleen in di\u00e9 betrokke sel was. <\/p>\n
Volgens Petoors het Pretorius glo ges\u00ea haar oom het \u2019n kombers gebruik en ook dat hy alleen in die aanhoudingsel was. <\/p>\n
Maar volgens Petoors kan sy nie glo dat haar oom \u2019n kombers kan opskeur nie. \u201cMy oom was sieklik. Hy\u2019t kanker gehad. Hy het nie daai krag gehad om \u2019n kombers te skeur nie.\u201d <\/p>\n
By navraag oor die voorval het sers. Christopher Spies van die polisie se provinsiale mediakantoor Ewertson se dood in polisieaanhouding per e-pos bevestig. <\/p>\n
\u201cDie polisie van Barrydale het \u2019n geregtelike doodsondersoekdossier geopen nadat die liggaam van \u2019n man omstreeks 02:00 op Saterdag 30 Desember 2023 in die aanhoudingselle gevind is. <\/p>\n
\u201cDie omstandighede van sy dood word deur die onafhanklike polisie-ondersoekdirektoraat (Opod) ondersoek. Opod is in die beste posisie om meer inligting te verskaf,\u201d s\u00ea Spies. <\/p>\n
\u2019n Skriftelike medianavraag wat Donderdag 25 Januarie aan Opod Wes-Kaap gerig is, is tot nou steeds onbeantwoord.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
