An investigation is underway after a sergeant from the Honeydew Police and his wife were found dead in Cosmo City on September 24.
According to the Independent Police Investigative Directorate (IPID), the sergeant allegedly drove a state vehicle to his colleague’s house, who was on standby. “It is alleged that when the warrant officer was driving the sergeant back home, they came across the sergeant’s wife at the corner of Japan and Indonesia Streets in Cosmo City,” IPID spokesperson, Grace Langa said. “The sergeant asked to get out of the vehicle and an argument ensued between him and his wife. The warrant officer asked the couple to go home, and then he drove off.”
That would be the last time the couple was seen alive because not long after, their bodies were discovered in the middle of the street. The incident was reported to the police.
“The police went to the scene and found the sergeant lying face up with a bullet wound to his right temple, and his wife had a bullet wound to the back of her head. She was lying face down,” Langa added.
Inquest dockets have been opened and the case remains under investigation.
