‘Humble cop’ in dock

R10M FRAUD: SUSPECT 'NEVER BEHAVED LIKE SHE HAD A LOT OF MONEY'

- Masoka Dube

A police sergeant who was arrested yesterday on allegations of murder and insurance fraud of about R10 million is a humble person who has never showed any signs that she might have a lot of money, according to one of her colleagues. The 43-year-old officer stationed at Senwabarwana police station in Limpopo, who is accused of murdering six community members and receiving about R10 million from the insurance payouts, is expected to appear in the Polokwane District Court today to face six counts of murder and about 17 charges of fraud.

In an interview with The Citizen yesterday the colleague, who cannot be identified because he is not authorised to speak to the media, said the suspect was always seen driving in her bakkie when coming to work.
