When a criminal such as Radovan Krejcir is arrested, the lifestyle he led is sure to disappear and subsequently affect those closest to him.
Like his mistress.
Arrested late 2013, Krejcir left behind his lover Marissa Christopher and their young child. Marissa was a one-time Playboy cover girl, and had lived rent-free in a R30 million luxury home in Linksfield Ridge, Johannesburg thanks to Krejcir.
But that all changed when he went to jail.
She was kicked out earlier this year after rent (R90 0000 / month) was not paid, and has been living with cousins and depending on them for money ever since. But police were unable to find the cover girl when she moved – they were looking for her as she allegedly paid people to help Krejcir escape in November last year.
Three months after a warrant for arrest was issued, she was found right at the source – she had showed up to Zonderwater Prison on Saturday afternoon in an attempt to visit her lover. She was promptly arrested. News24 explains why:
Police believe Christopher had sold a luxury Mercedes-Benz, bought for her by Krejcir before he was arrested in late 2013.
Forensic investigator Paul O’Sullivan said cash from the sale of the car was used to pay certain known individuals to help Krejcir in his escape bid.
“It is also believed that she helped with plans to arrange a helicopter,” O’Sullivan said.
“Krejcir’s ‘playmate’ could become his cellmate,” remarked O’Sullivan.
Immediately after Christopher was arrested, prison official Hendricks Johannes Herbst was also arrested. He was accused of smuggling a cellphone into Krejcir’s cell.
They both appeared in the Kempton Park Magistrate’s Court on Monday on charges of defeating the administration of justice, conspiring to allow a prisoner to escape from custody, and corruption.
They will be joining Krejcir and another two prison officials who have been charged with aiding and abetting a prisoner to escape, as well as corruption.
In court on Monday, Marissa pleaded not guilty to the charges and said she had no relationship with Krejcir any more, other than the fact that he was her child’s father. Lies.
Here are the other people that are of interest:
Outstanding warrants of arrest also exist for Krejcir’s son Denis, his wife Katerina, his mother Nadezda, and his son’s girlfriend, Marlene Nezar, who is believed to have married Denis to avoid being deported from the Czech Republic as an over-staying visitor, O’Sullivan said.
Marissa made the cover of Playboy in 2012 to the theme of a riveting country girl. Below is the least NSFW photo – you can see the whole spread HERE, just make sure those who see your screen get that you read 2ov.
According to iol, Marissa is the daughter of former Umkhonto weSizwe leader Russell Christopher, who reportedly told City Press in 2012 that “he was estranged from his daughter, although he had heard of her relationship with Krejcir.”
Apparently when she took the stand (above), she was camera shy – probably because she was wearing too much clothing. Who knows. She definitely still loves Krejcir though.
