Four suspects linked to the shooting deaths of two women and two police officers in Reiger Park are set to appear in the Boksburg Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday. The suspects - Reagan Cheslin Collis, 23, Jamal Meyer, 24, Elvino Levert Crafford, 27, and a 26-year-old man arrested on Friday - are already facing charges linked to the killings.
The shooting, which occurred on August 7, resulted in the deaths of Gauteng Anti-Gang Unit officers Constables Thapelo Tlomatsana, 29, and Sphiwe Sibeko, 28, as well as civilians Roleen Lessing and Jayden Margerman. Police allege that the officers were conducting crime-prevention patrols when they were ambushed.
