Six years later: Struggle for justice for Craig Douglas

Cape Argus

February 03, 2026

THE National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) has confirmed that witnesses, video footage, and a weapon, all key evidence in solving the six-year murder case of 23-year-old Craig Douglas from Edgemead, who was beaten and stabbed by three suspects for his vehicle, have become the critical core in the delay of the case.

This as Douglas's family continues to fight for justice after the case was struck off the roll in 2021 and then reinstated in 2024, following a complaint lodged with the Western Cape Ombudsman, who found that the Nyanga police at the time had been part of wrongdoing.

Douglas left home on November 30, 2019, for a friend's house in Heideveld. Disoriented on his return, he stopped in Athlone. His killers smashed the locked car windows, beat and stabbed him, placed his body in the passenger seat, and dumped it at Monwabisi beach.
