Family and friends of murdered 22-year-old crime prevention warden, Chesnay Keppler, are expected to gather for her memorial service today.

The service will be held at the Don Mattera Hall in Eldorado Park, south of Johannesburg.

Keppler was gunned down allegedly by her 42-year-old police officer boyfriend on December 26.

According to the Independent Police Investigative Directorate (IPID), several shots were fired through the window, hitting Keppler. One of them was fatal.

The accused then shot himself to evade arrest.

He was due to appear at the Protea Magistrate’s court this week but the matter was postponed to January 6.

He was not present in court as he is still in hospital under police guard.
