The Citizen reports that Sergeant Moshela Mokgoba’s alleged killer has handed himself over to the Johannesburg Police Station.

The 52-year-old suspect will appear in court soon on charges of murder, attempted murder, robbery of a firearm and discharging a firearm in a municipal area. Mokgoba was shot dead while on duty in Alexandra on Tuesday night when he and colleagues were following a suspicious vehicle. “There was a traffic jam on Third Street near Pan African Mall, so he and a colleague proceeded to approach the vehicle on foot. Shots were fired from that vehicle and the member was declared dead on the scene,” police spokesperson Colonel Brenda Muridili indicated.
