The move came after the South African police said they were investigating possible links between the death of Dr Pox Raghavjee in 2007 and that of Anni Dewani in November.
Family of murdered former Dispatch employees Graham and Kate Lizamore are hiring a private investigator to help find answers to the pair’s brutal death last week.
Kate’s sister, Patricia Hayes , yesterday said they wanted an independent investigation into the killings.
“The family will be looking at that route just to assist with the investigations. A private investigator will be used for this. We need to know what happened and why they were murdered,” said Hayes.
On Friday last week, the Lizamores were found dead in their Pinetown home near Durban.
Their death, which has shocked many of their former colleagues and friends, has puzzled police and family members after it was established that nothing was taken from their home.
Last week, the couple’s family had to call police to investigate why they were not responding to numerous phone calls.
On arrival at the couple’s home last Friday, police noticed that the main door was unlocked. Their bodies were discovered in a toilet.
Graham’s legs and hands were tied at the back while Kate had a black plastic bag around her head.
According to the police, the couple’s bodies were partly decomposed, suggesting they might have been murdered a few days earlier.
KwaZulu-Natal police spokesperson Lieutenant Colonel Vincent Mdunge confirmed there was nothing taken from the couple’s home.
“Detectives are currently combing the couple’s place to check for any clues that might assist in their investigations. We are following any information that will assist us with this case,” said Mdunge.
