Taliep Petersen Murder: Four Mystery Suspects
The ensuing months were very quiet in terms of any progress in the case. Police did not release statements and the family kept its silence.
In February, 2007 Superintendant Billy Jones released a statement that a man had been question in regards to the murder. They stressed that he was not a suspect. “It was just a routine questioning, nothing else.”
April 15th saw a press release saying that four suspects, believed to have been business associates of Taliep had been identified by police. Further more, they were believed to be in hiding.
Police, however, said in a statement that there was still nothing new in the investigation. Police spokesperson Superintendent Billy Jones could not confirm that the suspects were known to the police.
Apparently these four had “moved in the same circles” as Taliep and he had bailed them out following an unsuccessful business transaction.
Earlier this year, detectives from the Organised Crime Unit took in a man for questioning in connection with the murder.
Apparently detectives had received a tip-off and went to premises in Bishop Lavis where they questioned 12 people. They found dagga and arrested them. Could this be the four mystery men?
It was also reported that police computer technicians had visited Petersen’s home to check his two computers. Investigators checked the hard drives for information that could lead them to the killers. Could this info be related to the four mystery men?
Were the police just keeping the information ‘close to their chests’, or was the source of the information wrong?
