A 34-YEAR-OLD man is expected to appear before the Kgomotso Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday for murder of a former teacher. The suspect allegedly shot and killed Galotlwaele Jaqueline Motabogi (67) who is a former teacher at Mothelesi Secondary School in Shaleng village near Pampierstad on Sunday.
According to the North West police spokesperson, Lieutenant Col Amanda Funani, in the early hours of Sunday morning, the suspect allegedly forcefully gained entry into the house of Motabogi through the kitchen door.
“The suspect allegedly stole the keys of her Toyota Fortuner. The victim allegedly heard her vehicle’s engine running and went to investigate. When the suspect saw the victim, he shot her. The Emergency Medical and Rescue Services (EMRS) paramedics were called to the scene and declared her dead.
“Furthermore, the suspect fled the scene with the victim’s car. The suspect fled the scene and police launched a manhunt. Through the Gauteng police, the suspect was traced to Pretoria where he was found hiding,” she said.
Funani said police seized the Toyota Fortuner, five cellular phones as well as a hunting rifle. She said the suspect is facing charges of murder, being in possession of a suspected stolen motor vehicle, being in possession of suspected stolen property and possession of an unlicensed firearm.
The suspect was transferred back to North West.
Meanwhile, the North West Police Commissioner, Lieutenant General Sello Kwena thanked the Gauteng police for their cooperation in arresting the suspect. Kwena also condemned the incident and instructed the detectives to make sure that they oppose bail when the suspect appears in court.
