CASE 18
Last
September Lee Anne Douglas was killed by South African police while attempting
to drive to police station because she was afraid to pull over for an unmarked
police car. Its obvious that Mrs Douglas had plenty of reason to be
afraid. This is what we know.
·
Lee Anne bumped into a neighbors motor scooter and that neighbor
filed charges. The charges were dismissed -however a police woman demanded a bribe
of R6,000 anyway
·
Police woman shows up at Lee Annes home and arrests her without
a warrant or reason to be at Mrs Douglas’s home. Female officer allegedly
assaults Lee Anne Douglas
·
Lee Anne is held by police for three days and released without
a charge
·
Police woman again demands bribe of R6,000 from Lee
Anne in which Lee Ann refuses to pay.
·
Lee Ann reports officers involved and lays charges off false
arrest and bribery against police
·
Police woman attempts to rip Lee Ann out of her drivers side
window. Lee Ann flees from police woman
·
Police in an unmarked police car attempt to stop Lee Ann.
The first reason they give for trying to stop her is because “she ran a red
light, “ -later the reason is changed to” erratic driving “-
then yet again it is changed to “suspicion of drunk driving”
·
Police shoot at Lee Anns car even though they are aware
that there is a roadblock ahead only a few kilometers
·
Lee Anns car flips and ejects Lee Ann. Police officers fail
to render aid to the dying victim and immediately attempt to come up with
a cover story in which they have the car dragged 50 meters from the accident
scene. Police further attempt to cover up the crime by omitting the fact
that they fired upon the car.“When the vehicle was towed away, the
station commander noticed bullet holes in the vehicle and he called the
suspects and tried to get clarity – they could not give a reasonable
explanation for the shooting,”
