Const Thando Sigcu was shot dead in the Cape Town city centre on January 7.
Over the past 8 months, the Hawks have been investigating the death of a Cape Town police constable – Thando Sigcu who got shot in January by a city law enforcement officer.
The incident that led to Const Thando Sigcu’s death in the Cape Town city centre was when the 38-year old was in the process of arresting a robbery suspect until two law-enforcement officers got to the scene.
Thereafter, “shots were discharged and the constable was fatally wounded”. The Hawks had to take over the investigation.
“The investigation has been finalised and the docket has been submitted to the director of public prosecutions for a prosecutorial decision,” said Hawks spokesperson Lt-Col Philani Nkwalase.
However, the SA Police and Allied Workers’ Union has urged the NPA to take the case into priority.
