#BreakingNews: Another female officer killed in NW  | News Article

The body of a female police officer was found in Kanana near Orkney outside Klerksdorp in the North West.


According to police spokesperson, Sabata Mokgowabone, 41-year-old Sergeant Martha Mamoitoyi Bouwer, was found in a pool of blood with multiple injuries.

Bouwer's body was discovered by her colleagues at her house in Extension 14 in the said area.

The deceased is the third South African Police Service (SAPS) member in the province who was murdered this year.

Mokgwabone says information at their disposal indicates that Bouwer 's Toyota Corolla vehicle is missing and that she was last seen with her ex-boyfriend.

"Bouwer’s body was discovered yesterday at approximately 19:50 at her house in Extension 14, in Kanana outside Klerksdorp. The gruesome discovery was made by Bouwer’s colleagues who went to look for her after she failed to report for duty in the morning, "  Mokgwabone further adds.

Police are urging anyone who may have information that can assist in tracking the suspect/s to contact the Investigating Officer, Warrant Officer Piet Vermeulen on 079 881 9933.

He continues that "anonymous tip-offs can be communicated via MySAPS App or by calling the Crime Stop number: 08600 10111.

"The Provincial Commissioner, Sello Kwena, who has since mobilised a 72-hour activation plan in an effort to track those responsible for the crime, conveyed his condolences to the family. He said further that killing of law enforcement officers - whether on or off-duty- undermines the authority of the state which cannot be tolerated, " he further adds.

OFM News in March reported that a female police officer was killed in Mahikeng following a botched heist.

In February Free State police officer, Lloyd Poonyane (41) was shot dead in Orkney outside Klerksdorp after following up on a complaint in the Vierfontien area in the Free State.
