FULL SUMMARY:
Chapter 15 of 'Permanente Ink' sees Inspector Liebenberg enraged after discovering someone leaked information to the media, defying Dr. Badenhorst’s directive to keep the "Romeo and Juliet Killer" from getting attention. The inspector launches an investigation to find the mole within Mouille Point Police Station, causing an anxious silence among the officers. Upon recalling Constable Jantjies exiting a meeting with his phone, Liebenberg accuses him of providing media updates for money. Facing the accusation, Jantjies admits his actions, attributing them to financial constraints given his new baby and the fact his wife, Veronique, no longer works. He confesses the media paid him for both minor and major tips. Although sympathizing with Jantjies's situation, Liebenberg reprimands him for profiting off others' lives in a murder investigation, removing him from the case. Captain September calls Liebenberg, who reveals Jantjies' actions, prompting the latter to report personally to the captain. Liebenberg then brings in Constable Mentoor, who had showcased acumen in the serial killer case, asking for her investigative approach. Responding, Mentoor suggests focusing on power dynamics in the victims' lives, concentrating on their school and family environments. Following this discussion, Liebenberg assigns Mentoor to investigate the schools while he focuses on the victims' parents.
WHAT HAPPENED, IN 50 WORDS:
Hoofstuk vyftien beskryf 'n verwikkeling in die moordondersoek; Konstabel Jantjies se verraad ontbloot. Hy gee mediadekking in ruil vir geld. Liebenberg, onsteld, kies vir Konstabel Mentoor as sy nuwe vennoot en 'n nuwe ondersoekstrategie word geformuleer; navorsing op magsverhoudings van slagoffers in skole en ouerhuise.
FULL SUMMARY:
In hoofstuk vyftien kom die spanning tot 'n hoogtepunt wanneer Inspekteur Liebenberg agterkom dat sensitiewe inligting oor die "Romeo-en-Juliet-reeksmoordenaar" se ondersoek aan die media bekendgestel is, in stryd met die sterk aanbevelings teen mediadekking deur kriminoloog Doktor Stefanie Badenhorst. Liebenberg kom tot die konklusie dat Konstabel Jantjies verantwoordelik is en konfronteer hom. Blykbaar deel Jantjies inligting met die media in ruil vir geld om sy gesin se finansiële stryd te help. Liebenberg, teleurgesteld en verontwaardig, stuur Jantjies na Kaptein September sonder om hom 'n kans te gee om te argueer of dit te ontken. Hierna roep hy Konstabel Mentoor in en vra sy advies oor hoe om met die ondersoek voort te gaan, in die lig van Jantjies se verraad. Mentoor stel voor dat hulle hul navorsing op die slagoffers se magsverhoudings fokus, soos in hulle skole en ouerhuise. Liebenberg is beïndruk met hierdie insiggewende strategie en gee Mentoor die opdrag om navorsing op die skole te doen, terwyl hy verantwoording sal neem vir die ouers se ondersoeke.
