TimesLIVE reports that the police in Limpopo have arrested a suspect after he allegedly killed a warrant officer in the holding cells at a police station.
The suspect and his uncle were arrested within 72 hours after the suspect allegedly killed Mmbulaheni Ronald Mulanduli in the holdings cells at Mutale police station in Venda on Friday. The police said the officer routinely visited the cells and was attacked by the suspect, who stabbed him several times. The suspect then took the cell keys from the officer and stole money from the station's safe before escaping. The police recovered the alleged murder weapon, the keys and some of the stolen money. The uncle will face a charge of defeating the ends of justice. The suspect, 22, will, in addition to the rape, kidnapping and violation of protection order charges he was initially arrested for, face charges of murder, escaping from lawful custody and robbery. At the time of his arrest on 27 November, the suspect was out on R4,000 bail for a car hijacking he allegedly committed in January. The suspects were scheduled to appear in the Mutale Magistrate's Court on Tuesday.
