MONDAY, September 15 marked a year since the tragic death of local restaurateur, Leanne Douglas (45).
Leanne, who was the owner of the Red Rooster restaurant at Spiller’s Wharf in Port Shesptone was found dead in an overturned, bullet-riddled vehicle on the N2 highway near Umkomaas.
Ms Douglas’s mother, Leonie Luckin, said she ‘hadn’t heard much’ about the high profile case.
“It seems like the case has stalled through a lack of evidence, ” she said. She described this period as ‘stressful and terrible’.
Ms Luckin and her close friends celebrated her daughter’s life on Monday. “It’s been so hard, life will never be the same. I am just so sad all the time,” she added.
The Independent Police Investigative Directorate (IPID) completed its investigation into the matter in January this year, and its recommendations were sent to the director of public prosecutions for a decision.
According to media reports, the six police officers charged with the murder are apparently still on duty. CLICK HERE TO READ MORE ON THIS STORY
