Two Kempton park police officers have been fired.

The warrant-officer and the constable were found guilty of allegations of rape, corruption and defeating the ends of justice.

One of the men was accused of raping a woman in October last year.

They were handed down their sanction on Friday, this was after an internal disciplinary inquiry by the police service.

Police officer Eugene Opperman said “The presiding officer found them guilty after all evidence was heard and that lead to them being fired from the police [service]. There’s no place for police that do that type of thing,”.

The case is now with the Independent Complaints Directorate for further action.
