MR KAHANOVITZ
Now an application was brought for bail to be given to Mr Aitchison, and in that reported judgment they deal with the circumstances as to why the Namibian Police were experiencing problems in prosecuting, in bringing Mr Aitchison's case to court.  Now the Judge, Mohamed AJ as he then was, summarises some of the evidence that was placed before the Court.  This is at 810 next to the letter D.  He says the following.  He points out that Aitchison was served with a formal indictment charging him with the murder of Lubowski.  Paragraph 8, the Judge says the following
"On the 2nd of February 1990 and before the independence of Namibia which took place on 21 March 1990, Col Smit procured warrants for the arrest of one Burger and one Maree, who he suspected of complicity in the murder.  He could not locate these persons before the date of Namibia's independence, notwithstanding the apparent co-operation of the South African Police.  After the independence of Namibia, Burger, who is the former head of the Brixton Murder and Robbery Squad of the South African Police, has surfaced openly within South Africa, but has apparently taken the view that he is not amenable to the process of a foreign State."
Now you'll agree with me, one of the reasons Col Smit was unable to find Mr Maree and Mr Burger to serve warrants for their arrest, was because they had gone into hiding.
