The Hawks in the Western Cape are probing the circumstances surrounding the murder of an off duty police constable in Delft.
According to police, four suspects shot and
killed the 31-year-old constable, who is stationed at Gugulethu police station,
at around 03:30 on Sunday, in Delius Street, Delft South, before they fled with
his vehicle, a VW Touran without any number plates.
This is the second off-duty police officer that was shot in Delft, in less than a month.
The police’s Andrè Traut confirmed that three
of the four suspects have since been arrested.
“Our investigation led to the discovery of the
vehicle in Elsies River this morning [Sunday] and the subsequent arrest of the
suspects, who are scheduled for a court appearance in Blue Downs once they have
been charged,” said Colonel Andrè Traut.
“Three suspects aged between 30 and 40 were
apprehended on charges of murder and hijacking… DPCI detectives have been
assigned to probe the circumstances surrounding the incident,” he added.
