Grassy Park cops shocked the Wynberg Magistrate's Court yesterday when they arrested an alleged gang hitman as he stood in the dock.

The 22-year-old man got a huge fright as officers walked into the courtroom and informed Magistrate Goolam Bawa that they were there to arrest the suspect for killing a 19-year-old boy on Monday.

Grassy Park station commander Colonel Dawood Laing says the suspect was first arrested in Parkwood in December for the murder of a 40-year-old gangster and the investigating officers were left disappointed when he was granted bail.On Monday night, police were called to a canal in Ottery where they found the dead 19-year-old with multiple gunshot wounds to his body.

“The hitman will return to court on Thursday on charges of murder and attempted murder and we are appealing to the court to keep him inside this time.”Meanwhile, Grassy Park cops also made a breakthrough in the murder case of popular soccer player Mikhail Amos, 24, who was killed in a drive-by shooting in Dove Road just over a week ago.
