Attack on jmpd officers
5 suspects arrested in connection with March hijacking, murder of JMPD officer
Officer Neo Sepuru was hijacked while driving his private car after returning from a soccer match in Soweto in March.
A recent video of a taxi driver in a scuffle with a JMPD officer has gone viral just a week after a female metro officer was attacked by a motorist in Alexandra last week.
It’s understood the off-duty officer tried to intervene in an armed robbery when the assailants opened fire, fatally shooting him in the chest.
The pair were killed this week when a motorist ploughed into the roadblock on Witkoppen Drive.
The City of Joburg has welcomed the arrest of a suspect in connection with the crime.
A Revelation Church of God spokesperson says that the metro police were removing cars that were parked legally and this enraged the churchgoers.
