Cape Town — A warrant officer was arrested by the Independent Police Investigative Directorate (IPID), known as the Hawks, in connection to the murder of his wife this past weekend.
The incident happened this past weekend and the warrant officer was arrested shortly after the murder. It is believed that the man and his wife got into an argument with his wife at their home in Kayamandi, EWN reported.
