A Cop accused of raping and making his teenage daughter pregnant then shooting and killing her appeared in Umlazi Magistrate's Court on Monday (5 March) on a charge of murder.
Despite a court restraining order preventing him not to come anywhere near the girl or her mother, the cop, a constable, arrived at the home in Umlazi on Thursday night and gunned her down.
Cops said the constable was angry with the teenager's mother and his daughter for opening a charge of rape against him and refusing to open the charge. The family was very terrified of the cop.
When the mother and daughter saw him at the house, his daughter tried to flee from their home after an altercation with her mother.
While in pursuit, the cop shot the girl in her shoulder and leg!
As she limped away in an attempt to flee from her father, he caught up to her, firing several shots again which struck the girl in the head and face.
"She died instantly at the scene".
Her mother managed to escape from the bloody attack and made her way to a neighbour's house.
The girl was in an advanced state of her pregnancy.
Sources say initially the cop planned to kill both of them and commit suicide later.
The cop had been arrested for a charge of rape before the attack but had been granted bail.
Eyewitnesses who saw the shooting called the local cops.
Police spokesman, Lieutenant-Colonel Vincent Mdunge said the cop was later arrested and detained at the Umlazi police station.
Senior cops expressed concern as to how the cop was allowed to keep his service pistol after a restraining order was granted against him following threats he had made against his family.
