The global security company has written to the portfolio committee on justice and correctional services requesting a formal invitation to appear before the committee to address the escape.
“It's clear certain people do not want a lot of information to be aired in a way which would ensure the company does not violate any laws.”
Bester faked his own suicide by fire, escaping from the prison dressed as a warder. The escape, which has seen three correctional services officials suspended and three G4S employees fired, allegedly occurred when the body of an unknown man was smuggled into the prison, stored in the facility's kitchen fridges for two days and brought into Bester’s cell in the solitary confinement unit where it was set alight.
Postmortem reports revealed the person, who was burnt beyond recognition, had not died from burn injuries but from blunt-force trauma to the head. The person also showed no signs of smoke inhalation with an accelerant, believed to be paraffin, detected by forensic pathologists.
