Shebeens home to criminals

Veteran police sergeant Charles Komba had pulled over a taxi near the corner of Eisleben and Lansdowne roads in Nyanga on Saturday and was issuing a fine when unknown men fatally shot him from behind and stole his service pistol. (from IOL)

Determined to hunt down his killers, police followed several leads through the night. By early Sunday it led them to a shebeen in the area where they came across three suspects.

The three wouldn't allow police to arrest them and fired on the officers.

"We fired back, wounding two of them, but the two still managed to escape"... they have since been arrested.
