INTRODUCTION
This assignment examines the complex case involving the murder of Andrew Tladi, a senior
Limpopo health department official, for which his wife, Khomotso Tladi, was charged with
complicity. The case is characterized by conflicting statements regarding her alleged motive;
while she claimed to have only wanted the hitmen to scare her husband, other evidence
suggests an intention to secure an insurance payout through orchestrated murder. This study
will discuss the criminals‘ modus operandi by identifying the distinctive trademarks present
during the planning, execution, and post-crime phases. Furthermore, it will explore the use of
the cognitive interviewing technique as an investigative tool to extract reliable facts from the
suspects. Emphasis will be placed on how this technique can enhance memory recall,
minimize interruptions, and reveal inconsistencies in suspect testimonies. By analyzing these
aspects, the assignment aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of both the
operational methods employed by the perpetrators and the interview strategies that can
improve investigative outcomes.
