AlgoaFM reports that Eastern Cape police have launched a manhunt for five suspects who shot and killed a police Constable in Tlokoeng, formerly Mount Fletcher.
Spokesperson Lieutenant Colonel Siphokazi Mawisa said two police constables were on duty when they were ambushed by the men in a Corsa bakkie on Thursday. The suspects jumped out of the vehicle and shot at the police officials, injuring one in the upper body. They then went to a nearby tavern and robbed the owner of his firearm, an undisclosed amount of cash and liquor before hijacking a VW Polo Vivo which they used as a getaway vehicle. The Polo was later found outside KwaBhaca, formerly Mount Frere. The wounded constable was taken to hospital where he succumbed to his injuries. The other police constable, the owner of the liquor store and the driver of the hijacked vehicle were unharmed.
