Police in Gauteng have arrested three alleged police murderers in Berea, Selby and Eloff Extension respectively in Johannesburg. 

The suspects are also linked to an attempted murder and armed robbery that occurred last month in Benrose, Johannesburg.  

It is alleged that on the day of the incident, the deceased Warrant Officer Jabulani Mabuza and his girlfriend had a mechanical failure in their vehicle in Benrose west on-ramp when they were attacked by a group of armed men. 

The trio is expected to appear in the Johannesburg Magistrate’s Court on charges of murder, attempted murder, possession of unlicensed firearms, possession of ammunition, and possession of suspected stolen property soon.  

HAWKS spokesperson Katlego Mogale stated that just as the tow truck driver arrived to assist with the vehicle, they were accosted by unknown suspects who pointed a firearm at them, disarmed the driver, and shot Warrant Officer Mabuza.  

It was further reported that the suspects went to the other side and pulled out Warrant Officer Mabuza, but while they did so, the tow truck driver managed to flee to his truck and drive to the Jeppe Police Station for assistance.
