Manenberg police are angry with the Justice Department after an alleged gang hitman was released on just R1 500 bail while facing murder charges.

Station commander Brigadier Sanele Zama said detectives were shocked on Tuesday when a magistrate at Athlone Magistrate’s Court granted bail to a suspect who was arrested for emptying a magazine on a 19-year-old man in July.

While a 34-year-old victim escaped, the 19-year-old tripped and fell and Scullard, armed with a firearm with an extended magazine, stood over him and fired 16 shots in his chest at close range. Zama said cops went on the hunt for the alleged hitman after he was identified by witnesses and two days later he was arrested in Nellie Court with a 9mm pistol and 16 live rounds.
