Grief and Controversy: Cop’s Wife at Memorial

Tragic Irony: Mourning and Arrest at Memorial

In a tragic and complex case, the wife of Constable Banele Skosana, an officer with the Ekurhuleni Metro Police Department (EMPD) in South Africa, has been arrested for allegedly orchestrating her husband’s murder.

Constable Skosana was fatally shot last week in Kwa-Thema, east of Johannesburg, while outside a local tuck shop. The arrest occurred just hours after a memorial service where the widow was seen mourning her husband’s death. Investigations suggest that she hired hitmen to carry out the killing, with reports indicating a prior attempt to poison him.
