‘Wrong man arrested’: CCTV footage casts doubt on Reiger Park murder case

‘Wrong man arrested’: CCTV footage casts doubt on Reiger Park murder case

CCTV footage reportedly casts doubt on the identity of the suspect in a double murder case in Reiger Park, Gauteng. The 23-year-old Reagan Cheslin Collis, who was arrested in connection with the killings, may not have been the shooter, according to a source familiar with the case. The police allege that Collis, along with friends, was involved in a longstanding gang rivalry, and the shooting occurred in front of his grandmother's house.

The source claims to have obtained CCTV footage which shows Collis confronted the alleged shooter and said "I saw you", but the footage could not conclusively identify Collis as the gunman. The source adds that Collis was allegedly tortured by police, a claim that has not been confirmed by the authorities.
