POLICE OFFER REWARD FOR BUS KILLER

POLICE are offering a reward for information leading to the conviction of a white man who last week shot dead three black people and wounded four others on a crowded Pretoria bus on January 12. Police spokesman Gideon Thessner would not disclose the amount of the reward on offer. A 24-hour police telephone hotline had also been opened for members of the public with information about the apparently racially-motivated shooting.
