Hawks confident of strong case in Reiger Park killings

Two women and two police officers were killed in Reiger Park on Friday night.

The Hawks in Gauteng are confident they have a strong case against Regan Collis, the 23-year-old suspect accused of murdering two women and two police officers in Reiger Park. Collis appeared in Boksburg Magistrate's Court on Thursday, with his bail application set for 25 August. He was arrested following a multi-disciplinary operation that recovered two R5 rifles in KwaDukathole Informal Settlement, Germiston.

At the time of his arrest, Collis was already on bail for two separate murder charges and two attempted murder cases. Gauteng Hawks spokesperson, Katlego Mogale, stated that preliminary investigations reveal enough evidence to add more charges. Collins now faces four murder charges, one attempted murder charge, two robberies with aggravating assault, and possession of unlicensed firearms.
