A 58-year-old man is expected to appear in the Johannesburg Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday in connection with a deadly road rage incident in Emmarentia.
The incident, which escalated from a confrontation between two drivers on Sunday, left one man dead.
Two others, including the widow of the deceased, were wounded. The suspect is facing charges of murder and attempted murder.
Gauteng police spokesperson, Dimakatso Nevhuhulwi says, “It is alleged that a female passenger, suspected to be the wife of one of the drivers, went to get a firearm from the car, and the second driver also pulled out his firearm, resulting in a shooting which claimed the life of the husband. The other driver sustained minor injuries, and the female passenger was taken to the hospital with a gunshot wound.”
She says the police will be investigating a case of murder and attempted murder.
“The public, especially drivers, are urged to always abide by the traffic rules and exercise patience while using public roads to avoid road rage situations,” adds Nevhuhulwi.
