Public Prosecution will not use Deepak Kalpoe in reenactment but will use his car

ORANJESTAD – The attorney for Deepak and Satish Kalpoe was stunned by the fact that the prosecutor gave an order to seize his client’s car last week to use as a ‘prop’ in a case of reenactment of a possible crime. ‘Stunned that the prosecutor wants to use an artifact as in a movie, to recreate a situation as realistically as possible, that they have to have Deepak Kalpoe’s original car’, Kock declared on American television this week.

CAR RETURNED

The fact that they returned the car to his client does not take away that there’s a pending case to question the prosecutor and the judge commissioner where they have to be formally question about this action. Particularly, if the prosecutor had the right to do this and what the consequences of this will be. ‘It is a totally unfounded action’, Kock continued to say.

REENACTMENT

A point that is very remarkable is that the attorney confirmed that in the reenactment they are using actors to play the role of his client. However at no time are they using his client, which is a normal process. As such, he doesn’t understand if they are not using the clients for the reenactment, why are they not using a car that resembles his client’s car, and decided to use his exact car. It is something that is not logical. Something about which the attorney has no answer either.

EXACT CAR

According to the attorney, the fact that they are using the exact car, will not make a person react 10 months later, in a way that now he does remember something to solve this case. Another question is the fact of who controls the editorial content of the program which is pre-recorded. ‘I don’t see prosecutor Janssen directing the cameras’, Kock continued to say.

SEE PROGRAM

While the program will be available here in Aruba via BVN, attorney Kock does not believe that it will generate the reaction that the program has to generate. ‘I don’t believe that people will see the program 10 months after the act, and come forward to say with exactitude what happened in the case’, Kock continued to say.

ORIGINAL CAR

Kock also noted that he feels the program will take the step to look for the original car. However, his clients have nothing to hide. It’s not that he wants to protect them from this, but it is the manner in which they want to use information via the car, it is simply an abuse of power according to Kock. At the same time, Kock doesn’t have any indication that the investigation is moving forward or is progressing. They explored things which have already done in the past. ‘When you are going on such a show, you want to bring old things old things forward and bring life into them again’, Kock finally said.
