JEFFREYS BAY<\/strong> – Police have launched a murder and robbery investigation following a deadly armed attack at a Jeffreys Bay grocery store that claimed the life of the store manager on 1 February.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to police spokesperson Warrant Officer Majola Nkohli, two armed gunmen stormed a grocery store on Jacob Zuma Street in Tokyo Sexwale, Jeffreys Bay, at approximately 09:20 on 1 February, and held the security guard at gunpoint.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The manager of the store was shot and the suspects made off with an undisclosed amount of cash and cell phones,” said Nkohli.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said that the identity of the deceased person is withheld until a formal identification process is concluded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
