3 alleged cop killers to appear in WC court following arrests

CAPE TOWN - Three alleged cop killers are expected to appear in the Muizenberg Magistrates Court on Wednesday following their arrests earlier this week.

The trio is accused of having a hand in the murder of 48-year-old Sergeant Lulama Njobeni on 30 May.

Njobeni was shot and killed outside his home in Vrygrond in Muizenberg while on his way to work.

Hawks spokesperson Zinzi Hani said officers received a tip-off and traced the suspects to Muizenberg, where they were nabbed.

"The acting provincial head of the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation, Western Cape, Brigadier Mushavhaduvha Ramovha commended the team. He praised the investigating team for following every lead relentlessly, which led to the arrest of the suspects."
