The Johannesburg Metro Police Department (JMPD) has vowed to bring to book gunmen who shot dead an on-duty officer on Friday night in Tshepisong, Roodepoort, west of Johannesburg.
“It's alleged that three unknown gunmen shot Ngoveni and made off with his cellphone, wallet and the keys of the security patrol vehicle. Ngoveni sustained fatal injuries after being shot in the back of the head, and was certified dead on the scene by emergency services,” Fihla said.
JMPD sent its “deepest and heartfelt condolences” to the Ngoveni family and condemned the senseless killing of one of its members. Fihla said a case of murder had been opened at Kagiso police station for further investigation and JMPD would leave no stone unturned in assisting the police to bring to justice the perpetrators.
