Wednesday morning we were able to learn valuable information about a story that ECR Newswatch covered on Monday 15 November.
It was about a viral video of a police officer shooting a guest at the Misty Hills Lodge in Johannesburg.
It is alleged that the guest known as Len Cloete checked in at the hotel but was refused access to the premises because he had a firearm with him.
The scene escalated and he was shot in the head by one of the police officers. We called in a criminal expert who would share whether the police officer acted accordingly or if he would be in trouble.
