The anti-gang unit officer, who was tasked with investigating cases involving the criminal underworld, was shot and killed outside his Bishop Lavis home nearly two weeks ago.
A suspect was arrested. Zain Killian is accused of having tracked Kinnear’s cell phone for several months.
The slain policeman’s younger brother, Grant Kinnear, said his brother wanted to make a positive change in society.
“He loved fairness and justice, and I think that’s the main reason he joined the police to protect people,” he said.
Another speaker, Major General Andre Lincoln, said: “I find the task daunting. Lieutenant Colonel Charl Kinnear is dead. He was brutally murdered. That without a doubt is the reason for the sadness of my spirit ”.
