The scene was chaotic and improperly managed, with confusion over involved vehicles and poor control, described as a 'stuff-up'.
“there was such confusion and utter chaos... the entire scene was a stuff-up, and there was no control whatsoever... initially it was everybody involved, then nobody, then somebody... The scene was a joke...”
Warrant Officer Wood was the stand-by member for the Local Criminal Records Centre (LCRC) for that specific area and was responsible for assisting with photographs and fingerprints at the crime scene.
“Warrant Officer Wood, at that time, was the standby member for LCRC, the Local Criminal Records Centre, for that specific area ... to assist with photographs and fingerprints”
On 2021-07-09 at 11:45, Warrant Officer Wood attended an alleged crime scene on request of Officer Rikhotso, but had not arrived by the time COLONEL STEYN and the investigating officer arrived at around 1:00.
“On 2021-07-09 at 11:45, due to a request of Warrant Officer Rikhotso, I attended an alleged crime scene ... I did not see her there”
The paragraph asserting Warrant Officer Wood's presence at 11:45 was incorrect; she likely received the call at that time but arrived later around 1 o'clock.
“this paragraph 4 at 11:45, it is not correct ... I think that would be more correct”
Wood's sketch of the Aeroton scene was drawn later in the day than photographs showing a black bakkie with black bags and a marked police vehicle parked in front of it.
“You will see a photograph of the black bakkie with the black bags on top of it . . . also in front of that ... a marked police vehicle parked right in front of it . . . Wood's sketch was only done at a particular point in the day . . .”
