Suspect to appear in court for killing two Kimberley cops
Police Minister Bheki Cele and National Police Commissioner Fannie Masemola will visit the families of two slain officers in Kimberley on Wednesday.
Police arrested a 38-year-old suspect who shot and killed two police officers in the Northern Cape on Tuesday morning.
Constable Okaetse Mandindi (35) and 45-year-old Sergeant Kedimetse Masilo, who were attached to the Kimberley Flying Squad, were tracing a stolen vehicle when they were killed.
Masemola said they will ensure that justice prevails.
“The killing of these members happens a week before the commemoration of 34 members who died in the line of duty in the 2022/2023 financial year. We will work hard to secure a watertight case that will result in a lengthy conviction for this perpetrator.”
The suspect is expected to appear in the Kimberley Magistrate’s Court on Thursday.
