MAGATLE VILLAGE: A Security Officer went gun crazy when he allegedly shot and killed his wife’s cousin, sister-in-law and wounded his estranged wife and a 1-year-old child on Saturday 19 August at about 19h00 in Makgophong Village.
It is alleged that the couple was separated and the wife had moved back home after the two experienced marital problems.
The suspect on the fateful day, apparently called his wife and shortly after that he went to her homestead in the same area.
Upon arrival, he found the victims inside the family motor vehicle and was about to leave when he opened fire on them. The suspect then fled the scene.
The Police and emergency medical services were alerted and all the victims were transported to the local hospital. Sadly, the wife’s cousin and sister succumbed to the injuries while she and a 1- year-old child are in critical condition.
The two deceased aged 39(cousin) and 29 (sister)’s identities will be released soon.
Police have opened two counts of murder and two counts of attempted murder. The motive for the incident is not yet known.
