Again, as with the first two suspects, he ‘was not at work’ but when they called him he said he would hand himself over late yesterday. Whether he has done so is yet to be confirmed. Meanwhile. the same whistle-blower said the police wanted to arrest a string of other suspects but the doctor’s report, needed to change the charge to attempted murder, will only be available today. It is alleged that even the onlookers who did nothing to help Vance or contact the police, will be arrested as accomplices.
