COP APPLIES FOR BAIL

HOUT Bay police officer Inspector Andre Ferreira will apply for bail on Monday afternoon at the Cape Town Magistrate’s Court after he was arrested by the Independent Complaints Directorate last Thursday in connection with charges of murder, perjury and attempting to defeat the ends of justice. Ferreira two weeks ago shot dead a suspect after a cash-in-transit heist in the city centre. On Monday Western Cape community safety MEC Mark Wiley accepted a petition from Hout Bay and Sea Point residents supporting Ferreira.
