Sergeant Masoma

not the appointed Investigator

Sergeant Masoma is a police officer whose role as the appointed investigator in a particular case came under scrutiny during the commission’s proceedings. Counsel questioned whether Masoma had actually been designated as the investigating officer, pointing to the absence of his name throughout the investigation diary. It was suggested that this omission indicated he was not, in fact, the appointed investigator, and that statements to the contrary may have been misleading. The questioning also touched on his belief that drugs found at Aeroton belonged to the case file, a claim that counsel challenged as lacking support in the diary.
