“She then went out to investigate the problem whereupon getting closer, one of the men snatched a firearm from his friend and shot her,” says Mpumalanga police spokesperson Leonard Hlathi.

“The two men thereafter fled the scene and police as well as medical personnel were immediately summoned where the victim was hospitalised but unfortunately died on 5 September.”

Mpumalanga police commissioner Mondli Zuma has lauded the police in Evander and metro police in Ekurhuleni for the swift arrests of the three suspects. 

“We are glad that the suspects have been arrested including the alleged murderer. We also believe that at least the arrest will bring comfort to the family as they will be able to find closure on the matter.”
