Ebun Francis|A twenty-four-year-old South African police constable, Austin Luciano Reynold, was on Friday found guilty for the 2018 murder of a Nigerian Ebuka Okoli in Durban, Kwa Zulu Natal.
Okoli was shot at close range during an unauthorised raid by the police officer, Reynold, on the community where he resides.
He was reported handcuffed, robbed and shot at close range by the officer who was off duty at the time of the raid.
At the resumed hearing of the case on Friday, Judge Shyam Gyanda found the officer guilty on all four charges preferred against him — one charge of murder and three charges of robbery.
Reynold was convicted following the testimony of his accomplice in the raid, who turned state witness.
