Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>A Mount Ayliff magistrate in the Eastern Cape was killed while driving with her husband and children in Mbizana on Saturday evening.<\/p>\n

The 38-year-old woman’s husband is recovering in hospital after he sustained serious bullet wounds in the upper body, and their 13-year-old son also suffered gunshot wounds.<\/p>\n

The couple’s 10-year-old son, who was also in the family car, which was sprayed with bullets by assailants driving a white Ford Ranger double cab bakkie, was unscathed.<\/p>\n

The police have declined to name the magistrate, saying her family was yet to be notified of the incident.<\/p>\n

Acting Eastern Cape police commissioner, Major-General Thandiswa Kupiso, has set up a task team of investigators to track and trace the culprits within 72 hours.<\/p>\n

Police spokesperson Brigadier Thembinkosi Kinana said the preliminary investigation revealed that the magistrate was travelling from a local village after dropping her mother at her home.<\/p>\n

“As they were driving towards Nomlacu locality, near Faith Mission Church, a white Ford Ranger double cab appeared and pretended to be overtaking their car. Unidentified occupants then fired at the vehicle.”<\/p>\n

Kinana said:<\/p>\n

Kinana said it was alleged the husband, who was driving the family car at the time, did not stop after the shooting, but drove to a nearby hospital.<\/p>\n

The motive for the attack is not known at this stage, said Kinana.<\/p>\n

“However, the police have registered a case of murder and three cases of attempted murder for investigation. No arrest has been made at this stage. The investigation continues,” said Kinana.<\/p>\n

Anyone with information should contact the nearest police station or call the Crime Stop number: 086 00 10111.<\/p>\n
