Krugersdorp cop found guilty of murder

A court found that police officer Titus Mabela shot Khulekani Mpanza unlawfully while he was lying on the ground unarmed.


One of the three police officers accused of killing Khulekani Mpanza in Krugersdrop last year has been found guilty of murder.

The court has found that Titus Mabela shot Mpanza unlawfully while he was lying on the ground unarmed.

A video of his murder went viral and prompted calls for an investigation into police brutality.

Judge Francois van der Westhuizen says that after considering all arguments and examining the CCTV footage of the killing, its clear that Mabela murdered Mpanza.

Accused number two, Puleng Sebetwa, has been found guilty of assault for kicking Mpanza, who did not fight back.

But Jason Segole, accused number three, has been acquitted on all charges.

In the video footage, Segole can be seen kicking Mpanza's gun away, but at no point does he assault him.

If there was no video evidence a dangerous criminal would be dead and the SAPS would hopefully continue to serve the public.

If the "victim" had just robbed your home and met a similar fate how would you feel?

Justice or police brutality?

Justice is served I suppose. Can't help but feel that the guys actions were somewhat understandable if not justifiable though.

Agreed, I hope their sentence is lenient. They operate in a tough world.
 
In the other thread we have those blue light cops that piss everyone off and they point their firearms in your face.

In this thread we have a cop that shot dead someone lying on their back.

Two very different reactions.

Two very different scenarios.
 
****ing ridiculous that a criminal can shoot dead a police officer, then drop the gun and police may not shoot him.

I know that's not exactly what happened here, but the criminal did shoot at the cops (luckily not killing any of them).

The system is broken.
