A fourth suspect in the 1999 murder of Oupa Abel Ramogibe in Vosloorus on the East Rand was arrested in Doornkloof, Pretoria, this morning. Police say the 52-year-old lieutenant colonel is attached to Crime Intelligence.
He will appear in the Boksburg Magistrate’s Court on Monday. The police’s Vishnu Naidoo says the man will face the same charges as Crime Intelligence boss Richard Mdluli and the other two accused.
The charges include attempted murder, kidnapping and obstructing the course of justice.
Meanwhile, the Institute for Security Studies says proper procedures are not being followed in the appointment of police officials.
The Institute’s Johan Burger says this has been highlighted by the arrest of Mdluli and his co-accused.
According to Burger, the police seem to be fighting a losing battle against crime, despite almost doubling in number over the last ten-years.
