Johannesburg - A police officer attending to a hijacking case was shot and killed on Saturday night in Mpumalanga by gunmen who then fled on foot, police said on Sunday.
"A remaining occupant in the Toyota Corolla told police that the suspects that fled the scene were holding him hostage after they had hijacked his vehicle. He alleged that the three suspects arrived in a white sedan that had a blue light. The sedan left as soon as they hijacked him. However, before the suspects could drive off with him in the car the three police officers arrived."
He also said the officers who escaped the attack have been offered counselling and that the family of Mdluli will also be afforded the necessary bereavement support.
