“Even though off duty, he carried his service pistol and had taken one extra magazine to a tavern in Pienaar. Upon his arrival, he found Mhawule in the company of a male friend, drew his firearm and fatally shot both of them, while a third victim sustained injuries. The accused handed himself over to the police and was subsequently arrested,” said Nyuswa.
