'Someone must pay,' police minister warns killers of policeman

An unidentified man shot Pillay several times outside his house in Phoenix as he was leaving for work. Pillay managed to return fire, killing the suspect instantly before succumbing to his injuries.

"The second thug must be found. I don't want to see him eye-to-eye. I want to see him foot-to-eye. He has started something that he cannot finish," warned Cele. He reminded police officers that they were given tools to take down criminals and applauded Pillay for fatally shooting a criminal before he died.

"This thing of sending criminals for warm-water baths and free meals - I don't like it. This is a father, a son and a colleague. Someone must answer. Someone must pay." Police officers wiped away tears as the casket carrying the body of Phoenix warrant officer Theena Pillay was carried into a Mount Edgecombe hall where his funeral service has begun. Pillay was gunned down outside his home on Sunday.
