News24 reports that KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) police have arrested a 40-year-old constable after he allegedly shot his sergeant colleague dead inside the Nsuze police station on Tuesday night.
Police spokesperson Colonel Robert Netshiunda said the deceased was on duty at the time but that the constable had not been. "It is reported that [an officer] was doing routine patrols inside the premises of the police station when he heard gunshot sounds coming out of the community service centre. When he rushed to investigate, he saw an off-duty constable running away from the centre," Netshiunda indicated. The sergeant was found on a chair and was declared dead at the scene. In an unusual turn of events, the alleged murderer reported for duty on Wednesday morning and was duly arrested. "The motive of the killing is unknown at this stage," Netshiunda pointed out. Meanwhile, police top management officials have encouraged officers to make use of internal employee health and wellness programmes.
