JOHANNESBURG – The Independent Police Investigation Directorate (Ipid) has confirmed that a third police officer has been arrested in connection with the fatal shooting of Nathaniel Julies.
The suspect has been charged with murder, annihilation of the purposes of justice and possession of prohibited ammunition.
Police say Julies was shot last week during a crossfire between rival gangs. However, her family argues that the police shot the teenager, who suffered from Down syndrome.
Ipid’s Ndileka Cola says the latest arrest is a detective from the Eldorado Park Police Station.
“The Ipid has arrested this afternoon a third suspect linked to the murder of Nathaniel Julies, accused of frustrating the aims of justice and possession of prohibited ammunition. He is scheduled to appear before the Protea Magistrates Court on Thursday, September 3, 2020 ”.
On Monday, two officers charged with the teen’s murder appeared in court.
His case was postponed until September 10.
