Ex-police officer charged with child porn found dead

A former Camps Bay police station commander, who had been charged with child pornography and indecent assault, was found dead in his Vredehoek residence on Tuesday, according to the Cape Argus. Zbiegniew Andrzej Weclaw, a station commander for 21 years and a police member for 30 years, was arrested on 24 November last year, months after a charge was made by his son Daniel Clifford Weclaw in April. Daniel allegedly discovered multiple boxes of DVDs containing child pornography, featuring mostly young boys. Daniel was apparently one of the boys in the videos. An arrest warrant was issued against Weclaw after he failed to present himself at court last Thursday.
