Limpopo taxi driver arrested for killing father, son during road rage incident
Police in Limpopo have arrested a 33-year-old taxi driver for allegedly shooting and killing a man and his son during a road rage incident on the N1.
The man was nabbed in Bandelierkop outside Louis Trichardt on Friday evening.
Limpopo police spokesperson Motlafela Mojapelo says the incident reportedly happened along the N1 road between Makhado and Polokwane.
“The incident ended at a filling station where the suspect allegedly produced a firearm and shot both men. The deceased were identified as Mr Andrew Duvenhage, aged 52, and his son Danie, aged 29,” says Mojapelo.
In a separate incident in Roossenekal outside Groblersdal, four suspects were arrested for business robbery.
“Members of the Limpopo Highway Patrol, Roossenekal detectives and crime prevention units assisted by Crime Intelligence arrested four suspects soon after they allegedly committed a business robbery at a liquor outlet on Friday.
"Four firearms, including two self-made short guns and twenty six (26) ammunition were recovered during the arrests."
The suspects are expected to appear in Groblersdal Magistrate's Court on Monday.
Two other suspects were arrested for brutally killing a man with bricks at Mphanama Cross while they were gambling.
“During the course of the operations, the police also attended to 253 incidents of domestic violence and served a total of 223 protection orders," Mojapelo says.
In an effort to deal with factors that often contribute to contact crimes, the police conducted compliance inspections at 3021 liquor premises and 51 were dealt under the Liquor Control."
The arrested suspects will appear in different magistrate's courts around the province.
