CAPE TOWN - The case against one of the suspects linked to the murder of a police officer in Muizenberg has been dropped as he could not be linked to the incident.
Three people were arrested earlier this week for the murder of Sergeant Lulama Njobeni in Vrygrond back in May.
Only two of the accused, Someleze Mahlabela and Jaden Fortune, appeared at the Muizenberg Magistrate's Court on Wednesday.
The case was postponed to 14 August for bail information.
Hawks spokesperson Zinzi Hani: "His body was discovered outside his home in Thys Witbooi Street, Vrygrond, Muizenberg. It is reported that at the time of the incident on 30 May 2025, the sergeant had sustained fatal gunshot wounds. He was in uniform at the time and was en route to work."
