Johannesburg - Two men appeared in the Wynberg Magistrate's Court on Friday in connection with the murder of a Western Cape traffic officer.
The first man, a 20-year-old, was allegedly found in possession of the officer's CZ 75 pistol, spokesman Captain FC van Wyk said.
“He was arrested on Thursday after two firearms were recovered on Thursday behind a bed in a house in Retreat.”
The other firearm was an unlicensed 9mm pistol. The man's case was postponed to June 19.
The other man, Quinton Ashley Cordom, 26, appeared separately and had his case postponed to April 12. National Prosecuting Authority Western Cape spokesman Eric Ntabazalila said the cases were likely to be joined at a later stage.
Traffic officer Wesley Woodman, 35, and a motorist were shot dead on Prince George Drive, in the Lavender Hill area, on Wednesday. Woodman had stopped a Toyota Corolla for a broken tail light when two men approached him from behind and opened fire. The motorist died on the scene. Woodman died in hospital later that day. - Sapa
