googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('footerleaderboard'); }); Two suspects are expected to appear in the Christiana Magistrate?s Court in the North West on Monday after they allegedly stabbed to death a police sergeant at a local tavern.

Provincial Police Spokesperson, Adele Myburgh, says the 47-year-old police official was involved in a verbal altercation with two other men when one stabbed him with a sharp object.

He was taken to a local clinic where he was declared dead on arrival.

“Police immediately activated the 72-hour activation plan to trace the suspects. A 46-year-old suspect was arrested on Saturday night after surrendering himself to the Christiana police. A second suspect, aged 32, was arrested in the early hours of Sunday morning in Christiana. The matter will be investigated by the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (DPCI).”
