A male nurse has been arrested for allegedly stabbing a police officer to death in Khayelitsha outside Cape Town, while the KwaZulu-Natal Hawks are hunting for the killers of a cop and his family in Port Edward on the lower south coast.
Captain Siphumeza Lusasa was attached to the Muizenberg SAPS Support Services. He was fatally wounded while on standby duty at Epakini, one of Khayelitsha’s popular hangout spots. The venue is near the Lingelethu Police Station.
According to Hawks Western Cape spokesperson Zinzi Hani, it is alleged the officer was involved in an argument with a woman when the suspect – apparently the woman’s boyfriend – attacked the officer, stabbing him multiple times. “He will be making his first appearance at the Khayelitsha Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday on a charge of murder.”
