According to Independent Police Investigative Directorate, it is almost a year after two civilians were killed after being caught with a stolen car, and two Western Cape cops were arrested this week.
It is alleged that in April 2022 two accused
officers were pursuing a stolen vehicle and during the chase they fatally
wounded the two civilians while retaliating to the gunfire from the occupants
of the stolen vehicle.
The policemen who are attached to the Kleivlei
and Mfuleni SAPS are expected to appear in the Athlone Magistrate’s Court on
Friday.
In a separate incident in January, a
knife-wielding suspect who launched an attack on police officers at an Eastern
Cape police station was killed. The incident took place at the Madeira police
station.
Police said the suspect entered the station
wielding a knife, insulting and advancing towards the police. The attack
resulted in in a fatal shooting of the suspect inside the police station.
