Top cop quits Senzo Meyiwa case

An award-winning top cop probing the Senzo Meyiwa murder case has allegedly pulled out of the investigation in a huff.

Captain Joyce Buthelezi - from the Hillbrow Family Violence and Child Protection and Sexual Offences Unit - withdrew after the committee overseeing the probe allegedly rejected one of her key recommendations.

According to police insiders close to the case, Buthelezi had suggested that all the people who were in the house when the Bafana Bafana and Orlando Pirates captain was murdered be arrested and charged with perjury or for defeating the ends of justice.
