Life sentence for North West cop killer
RUSTENBURG - A 36-year-old man was sentenced to life imprisonment for killing a policeman, the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation - known as the Hawks - said on Thursday.
Mogapi was shot dead on July 21 2016 at Hartbeesfontein, near Klerksdorp. The officer and a colleague were attending a crime scene after an alarm went off at an FNB ATM. "The accused alighted from the security vehicle and fired a single shot which hit Constable Baliki Mogapi in the head, fatally wounding him. His partner managed to exit the SAPS vehicle and subsequently fired a single shot in the direction of the fleeing assailant," said Rikhotso.
