It
is alleged that Siyoko and two colleagues were patrolling along Old Klipfontein
Road and Moya Street in Old Crossroads when they noticed that a spaza shop was
still open after 10.30pm.
Upon
inspection, the members were ambushed by gunmen who shot at them. Constable
Siyoko was hit in the neck and later succumbed to injuries in hospital and
died.
According to provincial
spokesperson for the Hawks, Lieutenant Colonel Siyabulela Vukubi,
investigations led to the arrest of the 27-year-old Aviwe Ndwanyana. He was arrested
on 8 June 2020 and remained in custody until his sentence.
Western Cape High court handed
him life imprisonment for murder, 15 years for robbery with aggravating
circumstances, five years for possession of an unlicensed firearm, five years
for possession of unlicensed ammunition, and 18 months for pointing a firearm.
