Show Notes
Former police sergeant Christina Somekete, accused of fraudulent funeral policy scams, was arrested outside court for allegedly contacting key witnesses, breaking her bail rules. Her case is part of a larger issue of fake insurance claims in the Eastern Cape, with her claimed payouts totaling over R173,000. Somekete, who resigned from her post after arrest, faces losing her bail after being accused of taking out policies on at least eleven living people. The Murder for Money task team is investigating dozens of similar cases linked to over fifty murders in hotspots like Motherwell and New Brighton.
