Police have launched a manhunt for four males and one female following a robbery at a tavern in Hennenman on 21 May 2023 where a cashier was fatally wounded.
On 21 May 2023 at about 20:50, a 44-year-old cashier at a tavern was busy selling liquor when the five suspects entered the premises and instructed all patrons to lie on the floor.
The patrons were robbed of cellphones and cash.
The suspects then proceeded to the cashier to demand cash, which was taken from the till at gunpoint. They demanded more and instructed the cashier to show them where additional cash was kept. He apparently objected and one of the armed robbers fired several shots in his direction.
He was found with a gunshot wound on his left jaw and was certified dead by emergency medical personnel.
Cases of business robbery and murder are being investigated. The suspects fled the scene on foot.
Anyone with information about the suspects can contact Detective Constable Monaheng Mokeki of Hennenman Detective Services on 082 466 7940 or Crime Stop number 08600 10111. Information can also be shared via MySAPS App.
