A policeman has to be hospitalised for trauma after shooting dead his niece in eMangangeni, near KwaNdengezi, KwaZulu-Natal police said on Monday.
“Once he has been discharged he will be arrested,” said Lieutenant-Colonel Vincent Mdunge.
The policeman was thought to have arrived home and started playing with the children on Saturday.
“He saw his 18-year-old niece washing outside and took off his shirt so that she could wash the shirt,” said Mdunge.
“While taking the shirt off, he accidentally dropped his gun. It went off and his niece was shot in the head. She died instantly,” he said. – Sapa
