JOHANNESBURG – A KwaZulu-Natal police officer is expected to appear before the Impendle Magistrates Court on Monday for the murder of a man he allegedly shot during a confrontation.
Police had accompanied a whistleblower to the home of the deceased who had been accused of stealing goats at Impendle on Boxing Day.
While the house was being searched, a fight broke out when the suspect accused the police officers of flirting with one of the women they had found in the house.
The officer allegedly fired a shot at the man, who was then taken to a nearby clinic before later succumbing to his injury.

She added: “An argument ensued between the deceased and the police officer when he allegedly confronted the officer for flirting while on duty. The police allegedly shot the deceased, a relative took him to the nearest clinic and he died ”.
