The acquittal of Van der Vyver in 2010 left the Inge Lotz murder legally unsolved. The South African Police Service did not launch a reinvestigation targeting alternative suspects after the acquittal. If Van der Vyver's CCTV alibi was genuine and he was not the killer, what does the failure to reinvestigate reveal about the structural incentives within a police investigation once a conviction has been obtained and overturned?
