A police clerk who accepted a R3 500 bribe to destroy the docket in a culpable homicide case was sentenced to an effective eight years in prison by the Johannesburg Specialised Commercial Crime Court.
Gauteng National Prosecuting Authority spokesperson Phindi Mjonondwane said Vasvanthan Govender appeared in court on Friday for corruption relating to the disappearance of the docket.
Mjonondwane said Govender had access to dockets and was responsible for ensuring they were allocated to and from other units, that new case dockets were assigned to investigating officers, and that fingerprints were forwarded to Local Criminal Record Centres.
