Police union wants life sentence for accused cop killers
Policing union SAPU is calling for life imprisonment for cop killers. Five people accused of murdering two police officers and burning their bodies have appeared in the Itsoseng Magistrate’s Court in the North West.
The five suspects have been charged with murder, malicious damage to property, and possession of a stolen firearm.
Their arrests follow the deaths of Constable Simon Ntsekeletsa and Sergeant Mojalefa Molete from the Mareetsane police station.
The officers went missing while out on patrol.
They allegedly run into suspected livestock thieves & were bringing the culprits back to the police station.
A day later their charred remains were found in a police vehicle.
The five suspects Benjamin Jacobs, Jeremiah Mongale, Rapulana Keikantse, Matthews Modukanele, and an unnamed minor appeared briefly in the Itsoseng magistrate’s court.
The South African Police Union says cop killers should be dealt with harshly.
The matter has been postponed for legal representation.
The suspects will be back in court on 19 August.
