The 27-year-old suspect is expected to appear before the Boksburg Magistrates' Court on Friday.
A third individual has been apprehended in connection to the fatal shootings of two women and two police officers in Reiger Park, Johannesburg, earlier this month. The 27-year-old suspect is anticipated to face Boksburg Magistrates’ Court on Friday. The violence unfolded when the two police constables, Siphiwe Sibeko and Thapelo Tlomatsane, were en route to address a shooting incident involving the murder of two women, Jaydin Margeman and Rolleen Lessing.
The suspect stands accused of committing similar offenses, including two counts of murder and possession of unlicensed firearms. Katlego Mogale, spokesperson for the Hawks in Gauteng, revealed that the suspect was detained in Ekurhuleni following an intelligence-driven operation and thorough investigation. The arrest brings the total number of suspects identified and charged in relation to the killings to three.
