sapsEWN reports that Western Cape police say they've wrapped up crime scene investigations at the collapsed George building.

Thirty-four people died when a five-storey apartment block under construction collapsed in the Garden Route town on 6 May. Sixty-two people were on the site at the time of the incident. The rescue and recovery operations concluded last week Friday, with all workers accounted for. Provincial police commissioner, Thembisile Patekile, said they had interviewed several people as part of the investigation. He added: "We've wrapped up, on our part, the crime scene and it has been handed over to [the] Labour [Department] to continue with their part. We are collaborating with all other investigational aids, such as many engineering companies, so we are now at that stage."
