A suspected cop killer was arrested in a different province just hours after a sergeant had been gunned down in Limpopo on Saturday.

According to Hawks spokesperson Colonel Matimba Maluleke, a thorough investigation led the officers to Johannesburg where they spotted the vehicle with three occupants."The driver of the vehicle was suspected to be the same person that killed the cop in Lebowakgomo and he was placed under arrest," Maluleke said. Further investigation led the police to the suspect's residential address at Rooihuiskraal, Centurion.
He is expected to appear in the Lebowakgomo Magistrate's Court on Monday on charges of murder as well as the possession of an unlicensed firearm and ammunition.
