Convicted killer Donovan Moodley.
The Department of Correctional Services is adamant there is no record of convicted murderer Donovan Moodley’s alleged plot to escape prison or a sting operation to catch him in the act.
The reported prison break plan by Moodley, who is serving a life sentence for the 2004 murder and kidnapping of Leigh Matthews, was revealed in court documents filed in the Gauteng High Court in Johannesburg.
Matthews’ father, Rob, opposed Moodley’s legal challenge against the parole board’s decision in March this year, which recommended further profiling and that he not be given parole.
