One to appear in court for 3 West Rand murders

An alleged suspect in the 3 West Rand murders which has occurred in the past 3 weeks, has been arrested.

The 29-year-old male is set to appear in court on Monday.

This following the murders of Anthony Scholefield( 10 May), Hanle Lategan (31 May) and Kevin Mc Alpine(26 May).

The body of Scholefield was allegedly found in the baggage storage compartment(boot) of his car in Krugersdorp, the same as Mc Alpine.

The body of Lategan was, however, found next to a 'spruit' in Randfontein.

Captain Appel Ernst, public relations for the Randfontein and Krugersdorp South African Police Services has confirmed the arrest.

CAA: Maintenance failures led to the death of pilot

 

CAPE TOWN- The death of Bees Marais, a very experienced Helicopter Pilot, came as a shock to both his family and the aviation industry.  

Marais passed away in March 2015, after what should have been a general fire-fighting mission, trying to contain a flare in the Cape Point Nature Reserve.  

He crashed after trying to make an emergency landing.  

This led to an investigation by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA).  

During this investigation the CAA found that Marais struggled to regain control, owing the loss of the tail rotor thrust, which was caused by a broken control cable.  

Further investigation into this case showed that the wear of this cable went undetected, due to maintenance staff failing to perform their daily inspection duties after 20 January 2015.  

While investigations continue by the CAA and other authorities, the helicopters are being maintained by several independent aviation maintenance organisations and have been recertified.  

 
 

'Double bad luck' strikes Celine Dion

 

CANADA- Double bad luck struck singer, artist and song writer, Celine Dion after yet another member of her family passed away on 17 January. 

Two days ago Dion had to say goodbye to her husband and life time partner, Rene Angilil, due to cancer.  

And now she is yet again faced with the trauma of saying goodbye after her older brother, Daniel Dion, passed away earlier today.  

Rene, passed away in Las Vegas, after two bouts with throat cancer.  

Daniel, passed away near Montreal, owing cancer to the throat, tongue and brain - this was reported by his sister, Claudette, to the Journal de Montreal newspaper.  

BBC reported the following:  

"

The funeral of Mr Angelil, who helped to launch Celine Dion's career, will be held on Friday in the Notre Dame basilica in Montreal, where the couple married.

Dion recorded 25 studio albums and is the fifth-best-paid recording artist in the world, with a value of some $630m (£437m).

In 1999, her song My Heart Will Go On, from the soundtrack of the film Titanic, won two Grammy awards.

                                                                                                                                 "

We wish to take some time to share our sincere condolences with Celine and her family.
