Members of the Bishop Lavis police arrested two men, in connection with the murder of a foreign national, who was gunned down last week.

The Tanzanian was shot in the chest after he tried to save his friends from being robbed at the Nyanga Home Affairs centre.

The suspects appeared in the Bishop Lavis Magistrate’s Court. Sergeant November Filander said the men were arrested at Montreal drive, Airport Industry.

“A sector commander was contacted by an informer about the whereabouts of the suspects during which the sector commander and the Bishop Lavis detectives acted on the information and arrested the two suspects from Nyanga aged 19 and 26 during a scuffle.”
