Carte Blanche: The Murray murders – WATCH

The 16 November episode of Carte Blanche unravels how a major investigation derailed, leaving the assassination of renowned liquidator Cloete Murray and his son Thomas Murray unsolved nearly two years and eight months after they were gunned down on the N1 near Midrand.

The father-son duo, who were handling several high-profile and politically sensitive cases, were ambushed on a Saturday afternoon, yet despite evidence being handed to police and repeated promises from senior officers, a trail of blunders has stalled progress.

Thirty-two months on, no arrests have been made, exposing deep flaws in South Africa’s criminal justice system while a shattered family continues to search for answers, accountability and healing.

Carte Blanche is a South African investigative journalism television series that airs on M-Net every Sunday at 19:00.

Its first episode aired on 21 August 1988 and over the last 34-plus years has earned credibility among South African viewers for its investigation into corruption, consumer issues, and current events.
