Man kills wife, himself at police station
6 January 2015 9:48
A man shot his wife dead
before killing himself at the Parkview police station in Joburg this morning.
“It is alleged that the
victims came to the client service centre in connection with a domestic
violence dispute,” Lieutenant-Colonel Lungelo Dlamini said.
“While they were busy with
the domestic violence forms, the man (47) went out of the client service centre
to fetch his reading spectacles. Unknown to the police officers attending to
them, he suddenly came back and shot his wife (45) in the upper body.
“While police officers were
trying to disarm him, he also shot himself in the upper body. A revolver was
used.”
Dlamini said the
circumstances surrounding the shooting were being investigated.
“Counselling will also be
arranged for the police officers who were attending to the victims at the
client service centre.”
