GAUTENG: The National Commissioner of SAPS, General Fannie Masemola, has deployed maximum resources to trace Jabulani Moyo, an awaiting-trial prisoner who is suspected to have shot and killed two detectives yesterday morning in Roodepoort, Gauteng.
According to eNCA, the officers were shot whilst transporting Moyo from the Roodepoort Magistrate’s Court where he was appearing on charges of armed business robbery. Moyo escaped with the officers’ firearms.
A multidisciplinary team consisting of crime intelligence operatives, detectives, as well as the Gauteng DPC tracking teams and the Hawks, are on the ground actively searching for Moyo.
In a media statement issued by the police, General Masemola also called on “all people living in South Africa not to harbour this dangerous criminal who is in possession of a SAPS state firearm. The firearm that he stole from one of the officers is the same firearm that was allegedly used to kill the two detectives.”
“Moyo must be stopped in his tracks and he can only be prevented from committing further crimes if the community co-operates with the police by providing us with information on his whereabouts. Moyo is a dangerous criminal and our operatives are on the ground looking for him to prevent him from committing any more heinous crimes. We will not rest until we find him and we are also warning him to hand himself over to his nearest police station,” said Gen Fannie Masemola.
Those who may have information on this case, including the whereabouts of Moyo, are encouraged to call Warrant Officer Rabosiwana from the Hawks on 0728444442.
