Warrant Officer Wood (SAPS; claimed 11:45 arrival at Aeroton crime scene 9 Jul 2021, contested by Lt-Col Prinsloo)

Warrant Officer Wood was a member of the South African Police Service attached to the Local Criminal Records Centre (LCRC), serving as the standby officer for the Aeroton area at the time of the crime scene on 9 July 2021. Her role placed her on duty to respond to and process the scene, but her actual presence there became a point of contention during the inquiry. Colonel Francois Steyn testified that he did not see her at the location, and the Investigating Officer likewise reported no sighting of her. Wood’s claimed arrival time of 11:45 was disputed by Lieutenant-Colonel Prinsloo, leaving questions about her exact movements and attendance unresolved.
