Brigadier Jones (Station Commander, Booysens)

Brigadier Jones, the Station Commander of the Booysens police station, came under scrutiny during the commission’s proceedings through the testimony of Colonel Francois Steyn. According to Steyn, Jones expressed serious concerns about the safety and security of exhibits connected to the arrest of four individuals, a case that drew considerable attention. Jones reportedly noted an unusually large number of visitors to the station over the weekend following the arrests, attributing the extra movement to the case. He also raised doubts about the adequacy of his SAP-13 storage facility, which lacked round-the-clock guarding or video surveillance, and questioned the value of the exhibit during their conversations.
