The family of Patricia Keppler, a 22-year-old Gauteng Traffic Warden from Eldorado Park, is seeking justice following her murder. Her boyfriend, a 42-year-old police officer, has been arrested in connection with the crime.
According to the Independent Police Investigative Directorate (IPID), the suspect allegedly fired multiple shots through a window at Keppler’s residence on Thursday. He then fled the scene and attempted to take his own life. He is currently under police guard in the hospital.
Keppler’s father, Trevor Keppler, expressed heartbreak over his daughter’s death. He said he was aware of his daughter’s alleged abuse through her friends.
“She didn’t want me to get involved. That’s the sad part,” Keppler said.

The family is now calling for accountability and justice for the Warden’s death:
