Police shot dead a prisoner and two others were seriously wounded when they tried to escape from South Gauteng High Court in Johannesburg on Monday afternoon. The Johannesburg CBD was buzzing with SAPS officers, Johannesburg Metropolitan Police Department officers and the Independent Police Investigative Directorate and forensic investigators at lunch time on Monday after the police rearrested four suspects who escaped after appearing in court for different cases.
Peters said the police were not certain how the suspects entered court with knives as they were supposed to be thoroughly searched before being transported to court. “I just saw the door being closed and someone running out and then there were gunshots coming from inside the court I’m not sure what happened but there was chaos inside,” he said.
