postoffice thumb100 IOL reports that on Tuesday a 45-year-old security guard was shot dead, allegedly by two men dressed in police uniform.

Eastern Cape provincial police spokesperson Brigadier Tembinkosi Kinana said that on Tuesday morning at around 10am two men wearing police uniforms entered a Post Office in Gonubie, East London. “It is further alleged that the men attempted to have access beyond the security gate, but a security guard on site refused them access. This is when he was fatally shot. The suspects managed to steal the security guard’s firearm before fleeing the scene in a blue Suzuki Expresso. Moments later, the getaway vehicle was recovered abandoned in Sandy Springs and a plastic bag containing police uniform was also seized,” Kinana indicated.
