Two men accused of
murdering a Metrorail train driver at the Netreg station in Bonteheuwel will
appear in the Bishop Lavis Magistrate’s court today.
Piet Botha was
shot and killed in an apparent robbery on the platform on Monday.
Police acted on a
tip-off to arrest the two suspects in neighbouring area of Bishop Lavis on
Tuesday.
Metrorail’s Riana
Scott explained that the long-serving train driver was brushing up his
knowledge of the central lines at Netreg station when he was attacked.
Investigators say
CCTV footage and witness accounts were essential in tracking Botha’s alleged
killers.
Police say one of the two men
arrested was found trying to conceal a firearm believed to be the murder
weapon.
