A Cape Town lawyer, who has not been named, was allegedly kidnapped on Friday.
The lawyer’s wife reported her husband missing after he did not come home from work, and an investigation was launched after the detectives noted the “strange circumstances surrounding this incident”.
Police spokesperson Warrant Officer Joseph Swartbooi confirmed that the “traumatised” victim was found a day later, in a town 280 kilometres away from his home in Bellville.
The detectives consulted with the missing person’s business partner and secretary and visited the offices, where they found “signs of disturbance” and certain things missing, reported The Citizen.
Most intriguingly, there was also a file on his desk, which helped the police track the kidnappers:
Swartbooi said detectives found a file on the desk which would be of vital importance in their investigation as it gave direct links to pursue.
Then the detectives tried to track a woman (possibly a client) who had visited the practice the previous day. They went to her residence on Yale Road in Belhar, but according to Swartbooi, the woman’s husband did now know (or would not tell) where his wife was:
“Witnesses that were questioned in the vicinity, placed the female on the crime scene when they confirmed that she was driving a white motor vehicle, believed to be the victim’s motor vehicle, with an unknown man and two occupants,” he said.
The police then followed up on another address in Klawer mentioned in the file:
“Klawer police spotted the vehicle at an address in their policing precinct and entered the house where they rescued the missing person who was traumatised.” Swartbooi said.
Two women and a man were arrested.
These suspects are expected to appear in the Bellville magistrate’s court soon on kidnapping charges.
