Last night the police received yet another report about a police officer who was attacked at his house in Montclaire, Mitchell’s Plain.

It is believed that two unidentified men knocked at the door of the sergeant’s home, when the policeman’s wife opened the door the suspects asked for the police officer, who then approached the door. 

Lieutenant Colonel Tembinkosi Kinana said it is alleged that the suspects demanded a safe which it had a firearm.

The suspects then fired shoots at him and he died on the scene. The 34-year-old officer was off duty at the time.

A case of armed robbery and murder is being investigated and no arrests have yet been made.

“An attack to the Police officer is an attack to the society we are saying out efforts to serve and protect our communities will not be deterred by these cold blooded and heartless criminals,” Kinana added.
