Glenn Mulcaire always knew how to deliver. Watch the News of the World's former private investigator in happier times, scoring a tasty goal with the left. It was the first goal for AFC Wimbledon – the club formed after the old Wimbledon moved up to Milton Keynes. They called him 'Trigger' as a result of that.
And for die hard Mulcaire fans, you can hear the man speak at the end of the 2002 video. I think I can detect a certain easy charm there, which was no doubt helpful when he moved on to other things.
A private investigator has revealed he is close to cracking a case in which an Eastern Cape doctor was murdered several years ago.
Pox Raghavjee was shot dead in Bhisho in 2007.
It recently emerged he was family friends with Shrien Dewani’s parents. This prompted South African authorities to investigate a possible link between the Raghavjee matter and the killing of Dewani’s wife, Anni, in Cape Town in 2010.
However, Private Investigator Christian Botha said there is no evidence suggesting the link.
NHLANGANO - There was drama as an irate taxi driver attacked and allegedly threatened to assault controversial private investigator Doctor Myeni.
The incident happened on Saturday at around 2pm and the prompt response of two armed Nhlangano police saved what could have been a nasty ending.
The furious man, who cannot be named for now as he has not been charged, is said to have stormed Myeni’s offices demanding answers over a case he was investigating and further accused him of interference.
The News of the World confirmed in a statement today that Edmondson, who was hired by former editor Andy Coulson, had been suspended on full pay. Coulson is now David Cameron's director of communications.
"A serious allegation has been made about the conduct of a member of the News of the World staff," the paper said.
"We have followed our internal procedures and we can confirm that this person was suspended from active duties just before Christmas.
The paper added that it is carrying out its own internal investigation into the allegation and that "appropriate action will be taken" if they are found to be true.
Does the idea of sitting in cars for hours at a time, conducting computer checks and taking pictures with miniature cameras sound like fun? Before you go into the field of private investigation, be warned:
It's not as easy as it looks.
In Pennsylvania, you need to have worked for the FBI, state police, local police or a private investigator's office, according to Wanda Heitzman, who works for the Northampton County courts. But you can't be an active law enforcement officer and hold a private investigator's license, she says.
All applicants for a license have to be at least 25 years old and submit to fingerprinting. Then there's a background check from the district attorney's office, Heitzman says. No one with a felony conviction can get licensed.
"They go through everything with a fine-tooth comb and make sure everything's above-board," she says.
If it gets that far, applicants appear before a judge and provide proof that they're bonded for $10,000. "It's very seldom anybody's ever declined," Heitzman says.
While many investigators come from a law enforcement or military background, Matt Brown, owner of Lehigh Valley Detective Agency, started out working for another private detective agency for eight years before getting his license. He says the rigors of Northampton County's process helps ensure quality.
