"On Wednesday evening 22 July 2020, investigations led the team to Mpumalanga where they arrested one suspect. Police have determined and confirmed that the second suspect in the case was shot and killed during a house robbery this past weekend in Roodepoort," says Gauteng police spokesperson Mathapelo Peters.
