Kebble expert 'removed'

An independent forensic expert who helped the police with their investigation into the Brett Kebble murder, was removed from the investigating team on Monday.

Dr David Klatzow, a well-known Cape pathologist, was one of the ''experts'' whom former judge Willem Heath appointed on behalf of Kebble's family, among other things to search the murder scene for further clues. Questions arose recently when the police visited the scene again in Melrose, Johannesburg last Wednesday - more than a week after the murder. Heath has been handling the Kebbles' legal affairs since the murder. Last week Heath's son Marius said a Bloemfontein pathologist and ''another expert whom the Kebbles had approached were there to assist the police''.

But Klatzow told reporters that Heath informed him on Monday morning that his services were no longer needed. ''I was contracted by Heath on behalf of the Kebbles and asked to investigate the murder scene. I did. Now I am no longer involved. I am curious to know why.''
