During the early hours of the morning at approximately 03h15, a Khayelitsha Police Constable was fatally shot in his head while sitting behind the wheel of the police van in Phambile Street, D-block, Lingelethu-West.
The constable and his partner, also a constable had just returned to the police van after assisting a person (allegedly mentally ill) to his home in the same street. They were approached by an unknown armed man who immediately opened fire on them.
Police senior superintent Billy Jones says, the deceased member was also robbed of his service pistol before the suspect fled on foot. His partner is physically unharmed, but he is receiving trauma debriefing.
‘’We have launched a search for the suspect.’ ‘A case-docket of Murder, Attempted Murder and Armed Robbery is being investigated. Anyone with information can contact Crime Stop on 08600 10111.’
