POLOKWANE – According to police spokesperson Lt Col Moatshe Ngoepe, police in Polokwane are appealing for information that can assist in the apprehension of the suspects who killed a businessman in cold blood, in front of his son, on Tuesday morning.
Ngoepe says the deceased’s son was at the gate, on his way to school when three unknown men confronted him and pushed him back into the house.
“They also pushed the house helper into the bedroom where the deceased was and without saying a word, shot the deceased several times,” Ngoepe explained.
The deceased has been identified as Ngwako William Mathebula, an owner of a Johannesburg security company.
” The motive for this apparent hit is unknown at this stage and police investigations are continuing.”
Anyone with information is requested to contact Warrant Officer Kotze at 0827448205.
