"The DPP has carefully studied the docket and consulted the Attorney General in accordance with section 51A (6) of the Constitution. On the basis of the information contained in the docket, the DPP has referred the docket back to the police with specific directions for further investigations, which will inform further legal action to be undertaken," the DPP principal public relations officer, Abigail Hlabano told Mmegi this week. She said the docket reached the DPP's office last week Wednesday.
