A hawker was robbed and killed by three people - including two cops.
Two police officers have been arrested for killing a hawker at the Bruma Lake flea market in Johannesburg.
Spokesperson Julia Claassen says the 40-year-old Egyptian hawker was robbed and killed by three suspects at around 3pm on Thursday.
Members of the public witnessed what happened, gave chase and managed to apprehend one of the suspects who was then handed over to the police.
Upon questioning, it was discovered that the suspect was a 25-year-old police constable from the Nigel police station.
He revealed to the police the names of his accomplices. One of them, an inspector at the Germiston flying squad later handed himself over to the police.
The two are expected to appear soon on charges of murder and robbery.
The third man is still at large
