JOHANNESBURG – Four police officers have been arrested for the murder of 32-year-old Khulekani Mpanza, who was caught by police for an attempted robbery.

Still images of CCTV footage were first published by the Sunday Times over the past weekend. 

They showed how two weeks ago Mpanza was caught by the officers and then shot dead while lying on a pavement.

The suspect had opened fire at police officers before being chased and shot.

The Independent Police Investigative Directorate (Ipid) spokesperson Robbie Raburabu says an investigation led to the arrests.

“Three gentlemen, two sergeants and one constable, and one constable lady have been arrested for the murder. They will appear in the Krugersdorp Magistrates Court tomorrow.”
