The investigation into the Reiger Park killing of two Gauteng Anti-Gang Unit officers and two women has led to three arrests and the recovery of two R5 rifles. Elvino Levert Crafford, 27, became the third accused to appear in the Boksburg Magistrate’s Court. Police have identified co-accused Reagan Cheslin Collis, 23, as the alleged gunman, but CCTV footage seen by IOL has raised questions about that version. A source claims another man carried out the shooting. Collis denies the allegations. All three accused are expected back in court on August 25 for formal bail applications.
The investigation into the killing of two Gauteng Anti-Gang Unit officers and two women in Reiger Park, Ekurhuleni, has progressed to the arrests now of three supects and the recovery of two R5 rifles - but a dispute still hangs over who carried out the shooting.
The third suspect, Elvino Levert Crafford, 27, appeared in the Boksburg Magistrate's Court on Friday morning on charges relating to the killing.
He was arrested on Wednesday by the Hawks' Serious Organised Crime Investigation team based in Germiston, Ekurhuleni.
Hawks spokesperson Colonel Katlego Mogale said Crafford faced the same charges as his co-accused under the doctrine of common purpose, as all three allegedly participated in the crimes.
