Marxist Lens
Through a Marxist Lens, it makes sense that Paulus got away with the murder of his child, because although he seemed guilty, Marxist Lens is all about social classes. Because Paulus was white, rich, and a member of a well-known family, he literally got away with murder. It was a product of the times.

The only reason Paulus killed his child in the first place was to undo a mistake he made by being with Thebedi. To keep in with the appearance of the times, he had to get rid of any evidence or any reason to suspect him as the father.
