SowetanLive reports that two suspects linked to the murder of a Mpumalanga police officer were shot dead in Eswatini on Thursday morning, while a third killed himself before police could get to him.
Sgt Lawrence Mtsweni was shot and killed by more than seven armed robbers during an armed robbery at a store in Schoemansdal on Saturday morning. One person was arrested shortly after the murder. A cross border operation comprising the SA Police Service (SAPS), Royal Eswatini Police Service and Umbutfo Eswatini Defence Force led to sniffing out of the suspects who had fled to Eswatini. Two suspects, armed with pistols, opened fire as they attempted to flee. Officers returned fire and both were fatally wounded.
A third suspect traced to his parental home in Mantambe in Shiselweni region took his own life with a pistol before officers could arrest him. The killing of the three comes as police are still searching for Zimbabwean-national Jabulani Moyo who shot and killed two police detectives last week Friday as they were transporting him back to the Boksburg prison after he appeared in court on an armed robbery case.
