Two men have been arrested for the murder of a top investigating officer in East London, Eastern Cape police said on Wednesday.
Sergeant Simphiwe Sahluko, 42, stationed at Beacon Bay, was shot dead on Sunday.
"Sahluko was apparently involved in an altercation with the suspects before they fatally shot him," national police spokesperson Brigadier Vishnu Naidoo said.
Naidoo said that shortly after his murder a 72-hour activation plan was implemented to track down the killers.
