Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>A 19-year-old man was arrested for allegedly shooting his 39-year-old mother dead on a farm outside Cradock in the Eastern Cape last week, and wounding a truck driver.<\/p>\n

According to Eastern Cape police spokesperson, Warrant Officer Majola Nkohli, the mother was shot in her upper body at around noon on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

“Police followed up some leads which resulted in the implementation of a 72-hour activation plan, and a hunt for the suspect [was launched],” Nkohli added.<\/p>\n

The next day, at around 19:30, police received reports that someone who shot a woman at the farm had also shot a truck driver on the N10 highway towards Middelburg. The truck driver was rushed to the hospital after sustaining several gunshot wounds in his upper body.<\/p>\n

“The search was intensified and expanded to cover a vast area [and] various SAPS units, with assistance from community groups and private security companies, which volunteered their services and worked around the clock,” Nkohli added.<\/p>\n

The teen was arrested on Friday afternoon when tracking teams, accompanied by police tracker dogs, cornered and apprehended him about 20 kilometres outside Cradock.<\/p>\n

Police also recovered a firearm and a truck’s key in the teen’s possession, Nkohli said.<\/p>\n

The teen is expected to appear in the Cradock Magistrate’s Court on Monday.<\/p>\n
