Man murdered execution-style while driving into his home

POLICE in Limpopo have launched a manhunt for the gunmen who murdered a 34-year-old man executionstyle in front of his gate in Ntwane Maswikaneng village, in the Dennilton policing area.

Limpopo police spokesperson Brigadier Motlafela Mojapelo said the man was killed on Wednesday morning.

“It is alleged that the victim had arrived home just after midnight, driving a vehicle, when he was shot point blank in front of his home gate.

“Police members on patrol duty responded to a complaint of a shooting incident. They found the victim in a pool of blood inside his motor vehicle, a Toyota Avanza.”

Mojapelo said the preliminary police probe conducted at the scene indicated that the assailants shot the victim several times at close range.

Provincial police commissioner Lieutenant General Thembi Hadebe has ordered a manhunt for the killers.

“These killers must be hunted down until they are caught and brought to book,” Hadebe said.

“This incident has clearly sent… (shock) waves through the community and I want to assure everyone that the police are doing everything to find the killers.

“Just like the Mokopane incident, in which two people were shot at point-blank range and killed while sitting in a motor vehicle, the suspects were ultimately arrested. Even in this case, the assailants will be arrested.”
