A case of murder and house robbery is being investigated, and police need your help if you have any information pertaining to the case.
A 55-year-old man living in a home in the Mqedandaba area of Amangwe (Loskop) was roused from his sleep at about 21:15 on Sunday (January 23) by the sound of knocking on his door.
To his horror, three armed men were on the other side when he opened the door. The trio invaded the home, demanding cash and keys to a taxi that was parked in the yard. In an attempt to escape his assailants, the man fled, but this led to his demise.
“He was shot several times and sustained fatal injuries. The suspects took the deceased’s minibus,” said police spokesperson Warrant Officer Basheer Khan.
Police were alerted and went in search of the vehicle. When the suspects noticed the approaching police, they pushed the taxi over a cliff in Bhekuzulu and evaded capture.
“Detectives are investigating a case of murder and house robbery. They are in the process of tracing the suspects. Police are appealing to anyone who may have any information concerning the whereabouts of the suspects or any other information concerning the crime to contact Sergeant Ngcobo on 073 722 6679. Alternatively, call the toll-free Crime Stop number (08600 10111),” concluded Khan.
