Police posers strike in E Cape village

Relatives of three people who were shot dead in an Eastern Cape village on Monday say they're struggling to cope.

A local traditional leader, his daughter and a tavern owner were shot dead in Xhwili village in Bityi by six unknown men, who allegedly posed as police officers. It's alleged the suspects went to the traditional leader’s homestead and searched the home for a firearm then forced him and his daughter to accompany them to a nearby tavern.
