The Kagiso Police are appealing to community members for their assistance locating a man suspected of murdering a 39-year-old individual during a pool game. According to Captain Solomon Sibiya, spokesperson for the Kagiso Police, the incident occurred at Mugabe’s Tavern in Rietvallei Extension 3 at approximately 06:00pm on Monday, April 3.
The victim was engaged in a pool game with the unidentified male suspect. “They had reportedly placed a R10 bet on the game, which the victim won. However, the suspect became enraged and demanded his R10 back.
