Police are still trying to find the murderers of two Metro Police officers who were shot in Delft while getting out of their parked vehicle on Friday.

Their investigation is continuing but according to reports police confirm they have no leads which could help them find the two suspects. Police spokesperson Siphokazi Mawisa says Mkuseli Mqukuse (33) and Mcebisi Xotongo (30) were killed in Voorbrug Street, Delft early on Friday morning.

The motive for the killing is unknown but police are investigating whether the two off-duty officers' murder is related to taxi violence.

Meanwhile Dumisani Ximbi, mayoral committee member for safety and security, will put forward a proposal to council to provide a R100 000 reward to anyone with information relating to the murder, at the end of this month.
