PI ’close to solving E.Cape murder of Dewani family friend’

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.

Dewani Link in South African Doctor Murder Dismissed

Dr Raghavjee, 60, was carjacked and shot dead for no apparent reason during his drive to work in the Eastern Cape town of Port Elizabeth.

His widow Heather travelled to Cape Town to support Shrien Dewani when he and his new wife were carjacked and she was shot dead last month.

Police, who allege that Mr Dewani arranged a fake carjacking to have his wife killed, later suggested that there could be a link with the death of Mr Raghavjee because the families knew each other, and sent detectives from the capital Pretoria to investigate.

But Christian Botha, a private investigator based in the Eastern Cape commissioned by Mrs Raghavjee in June to look at her husband's murder again, said he was executed because he was about to disclose incriminating information.
