News24 reports that Limpopo police have launched a manhunt for gunmen who killed an off-duty police officer and seriously injured a woman in Mamadimo Park, Mankweng, on Sunday night.
Police spokesperson Brigadier Hlulani Mashaba said the body of the Polokwane officer, 41-year-old Detective Sergeant Luanda Rice Ringani, was found in a vehicle. The wounded woman was in the vehicle with him. "The detective sergeant was declared dead at the scene by the emergency medical personnel while the female victim was rushed to the hospital for medical attention," Mashaba indicated. The officer and the woman who was with him had driven to her Mamadimo residence for safety after someone followed them in a silver Mercedes-Benz, which had a Gauteng registration plate. "The suspects followed the victims to the place and fired several shots at them before they could enter the yard and fled the scene," Mashaba said. Provincial police commissioner Lieutenant General Thembi Hadebe visited the scene along with senior police management officials, the Hawks and forensics officials.
