Bredasdorp police station commander Lieutenant-Colonel Maree Louw has found herself in the dock recently on charges of defeating the ends of justice and of reckless driving. The world descended on the small town earlier this month when 17-year-old Anene Booysen was savagely raped and Louw has been the person handling questions about the investigation.
Louw appeared last week in the Bredasdorp Magistrate's Court – the same building the alleged attackers found themselves in.
