Hawks Send A Stern Warning To Police Killings Perpetrators

Hawks head Godfrey Lebeya has warned perpetrators of police killings that officers will find them wherever they are hiding. He says they are making progress in clamping down on organised crime, including incidents that involve police killings.

Lebeya briefed the media in Pretoria yesterday.

An attack on a police official is an assault on society and indeed an attack on the state. We categorised the killing of police officials as a national priority offence that requires the attention of the DPCI. During this period, 13 police officials were murdered, of whom eight were off duty while five were on duty. Thirty arrests and seven convictions with 22 life imprisonment sentences and 725 years imprisonment were secured, says Lebeya.
