A police constable allegedly
shot and killed his girlfriend at their house in Delft, Cape Town, says the
Independent Police Investigative Directorate (Ipid).
“It is alleged the couple
was returning from the Bellville court over a domestic violence case against
the police officer,” said Ipid acting spokesperson Grace Langa yesterday.
The officer allegedly used
his service pistol to shoot the 37-year-old mother of two.
“It is alleged that 15
gunshots were fired.”
The 36-year-old officer
handed himself over to the Delft police where he was arrested.
The couple’s two children
were in the house at the time.
“It is further alleged that
there was a history of domestic violence between the couple,” Langa said.
