After a spate of violent crimes, including brutal robbery, kidnapping, and rape of two female nurses at Chuene Clinic in Limpopo, a 27-year-old suspect has been apprehended by the police.
The suspect’s crimes date back to January 10, 2025, when he stormed into the clinic armed with a firearm and held security guards and two nurses hostage.
The suspect is linked to over 10 serious and violent cases within the Lebowakgomo policing area.
His reign of terror came to an end on Saturday, January 18, when he was arrested at his home in Ga-Maja, Phiri Village.
Limpopo Police Provincial Commissioner, Lieutenant General Thembi Hadebe, praised the collaborative efforts of various police units in the swift arrest of the suspect.
“This arrest should serve as a stern warning to all criminals who undermine the security of our government facilities. We will ensure that the perpetrator faces the full consequences of his actions, as we continue to ensure that victims of gender-based violence receive justice,” she stated.
The suspect is facing multiple charges and is expected to appear at the Polokwane Magistrate Court on Monday, January 20, 2025. The police recovered several items during the arrest, including a stolen 9mm pistol, live ammunition, laptops, cellphones, cash, and other valuables.
The arrest of the suspect is a testament to the tireless efforts of the police to ensure justice for victims of crime.
The community can now breathe a sigh of relief knowing that the perpetrator is no longer at large, and justice will prevail for the victims of these heinous crimes.
