Hitchens's razor: Amateur sleuths present compelling new evidence in Inge Lotz case
The brothers' second stand-alone book came about after Thomas Mollett had managed to get more documents from the Lotz case and had spent hours reviewing this evidence, recreating tests and pouring over newly found photographs of the scene and the body.
What they have uncovered including a clear imprint of the implicated hammer on a bloodied towel found in the bathroom, and their discovery that forensic geologist Roger Dixon, who also testified in the Pistorius trial, had lied to the court is enough for the state to initiate a retrial, he says.
The Lotz case can only be reopened due to legal error and Mollett claims that in Dixon's case this is indeed what occurred when the expert fabricated his section 212 affidavit, which was accepted as prima facie evidence in the trial. Dixon's finding was that a fingerprint police said had been lifted from the DVD had instead been lifted from a glass. A smudge at the top of this Folien 1 print, Dixon offered was a print of Van der Vyver's lip.
Roger Dixon's report is fraudulent, perjurious, incorrect and dishonest. It was a legal error to accept it as prima facie evidence. We can and will prove this in a court of law, says Mollett.
Dixon had told the court that he had met with a Constable Swartz who had taken the original Folien 1 from the DVD case and who had demonstrated to him how this was done. However, this was a lie, as Mollett found when he spoke with Swartz.
