R1million reward offered for information on detective Charl Kinnear’s murder

Forensics for Justice, a non-profit organization, is offering a R1 million reward for information that will lead to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for arranging the murder of detective, Lieutenant Colonel Charl Kinnear.

Kinnear, who was attached to the Western Cape Anti-Gang Unit, was gunned down in front of his house in Bishop Lavis on Friday.

Carlisle Kinnear, son of Charl Kinnear, recounted the events that unfolded seconds before his father’s fatal shooting.

“My last conversation with him was 30 seconds before he was shot. He phoned me to pull my car out of the driveway, he was standing there waiting for me.’’ Kinnear told the Weekend Argus

Western Cape Premier Alan Winde described Kinnear as an officer who was committed to keep the community safe. Winde called on Police Minister Bheki Cele and President Cyril Ramaphosa to employ more police to strengthen the service as an institution.

A memorial service will be held later this week.

Hawks spokesperson Lieutenant-Colonel Philani Nkwalase said that the murder of the police officer was still under investigation by a multi-disciplinary team led by the Hawks.
